KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a certified public accountant with over nine years of experience in accounting, audit and tax compliance in the private sector. I am a proactive self-starter who is organized, results-oriented and skilled at identifying process gaps and improvement opportunities.
I have prepared monthly and annual financial statements, implemented accounting systems for clients, managed audit assignments, and driven timely tax filing and payments that reduced penalties and interest. I also cleared reporting backlogs and introduced procedures that improved the timeliness and accuracy of financial reports, enhancing management decision-making.
I work confidently with QuickBooks, MS Excel and online banking platforms to process multicurrency payments, payroll and reconciliations while maintaining strong internal controls. I seek to apply my analytical, compliance and reporting strengths to help an organization improve financial visibility and operational efficiency.
