I have directed financial operations for projects valued at over KES 4.5B, implemented digital accounting systems, and delivered significant cost and liquidity improvements through strategic cash flow optimization and tax planning.

I specialize in financial reporting, IFRS/GAAP compliance, budgeting, audit management and project accounting, and I collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams in remote and hybrid environments.
