What I'm looking for

My educational journey includes a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Mathematics from the University of Nairobi, complemented by my ACCA qualifications. I have developed a mature and responsible approach to my work, ensuring that I meet objectives with excellence and reliability.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in various roles, including my current position at Business-Family Salon and previous contracts as an Accountant and Know Your Customer Officer. My responsibilities have ranged from journal entry preparation and debt collection to ensuring compliance with banking regulations. I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively and build strong relationships with colleagues and clients alike.

In addition to my professional skills, I am highly organized and adept at managing my time effectively. I am always eager to take on new responsibilities and challenges, and I believe that my proactive approach will contribute positively to any organization I join.
