What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic accounting role in a growth-oriented organization that values collaboration and innovation.

I am a results-driven accountant with over 8 years of experience in financial management, taxation, and compliance. Throughout my career, I have spearheaded the preparation of financial reports and statements for private firms and NGOs, ensuring 100% compliance with accounting regulations and financial reporting standards. My expertise in managing budgets exceeding KES 50 million has allowed me to optimize financial performance through effective cost reduction strategies and thorough risk assessments.

In my current role as a Tax Accountant at Tarra Agility Africa Ltd., I have improved tax filing processes, leading to timely submission of over 500 statutory returns. My commitment to accuracy has reduced financial reporting turnaround time by 37%, and I have successfully managed general ledger activities while providing remote tax advisory services. I am proficient in QuickBooks and various accounting software, and I thrive in collaborative environments, utilizing cloud-based solutions to enhance efficiency.
