What I'm looking for

I seek remote or on-site roles where I can apply bookkeeping and virtual assistance skills, contribute to accurate financial operations, grow professionally, and work in a collaborative, deadline-driven environment.

I am a dependable bookkeeper and virtual assistant with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting & Finance with Information Technology from Maseno University. I bring practical experience supporting finance teams, maintaining accurate records, and delivering timely bookkeeping and data-entry services for clients remotely.

In freelance and employment roles I have prepared VAT returns, reconciled accounts, managed stock and depot operations, and produced KPI and performance reports. I am proficient with QuickBooks, Sage, Xero, Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and common office productivity tools.

My work ethic emphasizes attention to detail, meeting deadlines, and strong client communication; I have supported audit preparations and maintained school and institutional financial records. Leadership roles as a Finance Officer and department class representative reflect my commitment to organized financial stewardship.

I am motivated to support teams and organizations with reliable bookkeeping, efficient virtual assistance, and clean financial data management to improve operational accuracy and decision-making.
