I build IFRS-compliant fund reporting, valuations, and expansion models across East Africa.
What I'm looking for
I've led finance and sales operations at Jafari & Kifedha, increasing repayment rates from 45% to 70% and growing the portfolio by 70% while managing budgeting, forecasting, and controls for a KES 45M microfinance loan book.
Through an MBA practicum with Data Dudes, I built real-time financial dashboards and investment scenario models for East African expansion, improving forecasting accuracy by 20%. Earlier at Zamara Actuaries, I supported NAV preparation, mark-to-market valuations, portfolio reconciliations, and IFRS-compliant fund reporting. I also co-founded Cedar Empowerment to finance education and healthcare access through CSR partnerships and donor events.
