I improve billing, payments, reconciliations, and audit-ready financial operations.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At M-KOPA, I reduced vendor aging by KES 11M by identifying invoice delays, implementing exception reporting, and optimizing payment workflows. I also reconcile 12+ bank accounts monthly in Dynamics 365 and Excel while maintaining audit-ready documentation.
Previously at M-KOPA and Fuzu, I processed high-volume invoices, managed end-to-end billing for 30+ clients, recovered KES 1.2 million in overdue payments, and improved payment-policy compliance to reduce delays by more than one week.
I'm motivated by building reliable financial systems through ERP tools, advanced Excel reporting, clean reconciliations, and practical cross-functional collaboration.
