I manage compliant financial reporting, budgets, reconciliations, and audit-ready controls.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an accounting or financial management role where I can strengthen reporting, budget controls, statutory compliance, reconciliations, and audit readiness while supporting transparent, accountable financial operations.

I'm a CPA-K managing financial reporting, budget monitoring, statutory compliance, reconciliations, payroll, and payments at Sunda International Ltd.

I've maintained 100% compliance with statutory reporting deadlines, strengthened reconciliation processes, and supported audits with zero major audit queries. My work includes PAYE, NSSF, NHIF, VAT, cash flow management, internal controls, and supplier payments.

Earlier, I supported accounting operations at Santa Maria Resort and processed public-finance transactions through IFMIS for the County Government of Kakamega. I bring over seven years of experience across private-sector and public-institution financial management.
