What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can lead tax compliance, improve controls, streamline reporting, mentor teams, and contribute measurable cost and cash-flow improvements.

I am a knowledgeable and dedicated accountant with over 10 years of experience in accounting, auditing, and tax compliance, focused on strengthening internal controls and mitigating financial risks.

I have led finance functions across logistics, consulting, and manufacturing sectors—streamlining month-end close processes, reducing reporting time by 20%, negotiating vendor terms to cut costs by 15%, and improving collections by 25%.

I am a strategic problem-solver who supports audits, manages tax filings and KRA engagements, implements financial systems, and delivers clear financial reports to support executive decision-making.
