What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can strengthen finance processes and internal controls, deliver accurate IFRS-based reporting, and leverage accounting systems like Oracle and Xero to support management decisions.

I'm a CPA Finalist and Senior Accountant with 7+ years of experience in full-cycle accounting, financial reporting, treasury management, bookkeeping, payroll, and statutory compliance across the energy distribution and engineering sectors. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, I currently work at MOGAS Kenya Limited while also providing remote bookkeeping support to a UK-based engineering company using Xero.

My expertise includes month-end close, accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliations, payroll processing, VAT compliance, budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis. I am proficient in Oracle, SAP, ERPNext, and Xero, with a strong track record of improving financial processes, strengthening internal controls, and delivering accurate management reporting.

Through my experience supporting international teams remotely, I am comfortable collaborating across time zones and communicating effectively with stakeholders at all levels. I am seeking remote accounting and bookkeeping opportunities where I can contribute accuracy, reliability, and strong financial systems expertise to help businesses grow and succeed.
