What I'm looking for
As an experienced CPA-certified accountant with over six years in financial administration and accounts receivable, I have honed my skills in full-cycle accounting, reconciliations, and data-driven reporting. My proficiency in tools like Excel and Power BI allows me to streamline workflows and integrate spreadsheet systems into cloud-based tools effectively. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to support sustainable and cost-effective decision-making in a remote accounting role.
In my current position as a Receivable Accountant at East Africa Spectre Ltd, I have successfully reconciled customer accounts and generated monthly financial reports that inform business decisions. My ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams has optimized financial documentation and improved accuracy. Additionally, I designed a spreadsheet-based cylinder management system that tracks deliveries and balances, showcasing my commitment to innovation and efficiency.
Throughout my career, I have developed a strong foundation in accounting and bookkeeping, compliance, and data analytics. I am eager to apply my skills in financial analysis and ERP systems to contribute to a dynamic organization that values remote work and professional growth.
