What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative work environment that values problem-solving and growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented accountant with a Bachelor of Commerce in Finance and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA-K) qualification. My professional journey has been marked by my ability to manage complex tasks and processes efficiently, even under tight schedules. I thrive in environments that allow me to collaborate with others while also focusing on individual responsibilities. My experience includes working as a Program Assistant for a World Bank-funded project, where I prepared financial reports, managed donor funds, and ensured compliance with regulations.

In my previous role as an Accountant at Jesma Printing Press Ltd, I successfully handled petty cash accounts, prepared annual budgets, and managed supplier accounts. My strong organizational skills and proficiency in accounting software such as QuickBooks have enabled me to maintain accurate financial records and present comprehensive financial statements to management. I am passionate about driving change and continuously improving processes to enhance productivity and efficiency in the workplace.
