What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can apply reconciliations, reporting and compliance skills, grow toward CPA qualification, and contribute to an efficient, integrity-driven finance team.

I am a proactive, detail-oriented finance professional with over three years of progressive experience in financial operations, reconciliations, reporting, and account management within educational and professional institutions.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Finance and Banking and am currently pursuing CPA Part II; I have hands-on experience with QuickBooks, Xero, advanced MS Excel (pivot tables and analysis), MPESA for Business, and exposure to SAP/ERP systems. My roles have included managing ledgers, reconciling bank and cash transactions, processing payroll and statutory deductions, preparing audit schedules, and supporting budget monitoring and forecasts.

I bring high integrity, strong analytical and organizational skills, and a commitment to efficiency and continuous improvement in financial operations—consistently delivering accurate reports and compliant financial records while supporting teams and stakeholders effectively.
