What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to bring my hands-on accounting experience to a focused Accounts Payable role in a global technology business.

At Pastrim Industries Limited, I reviewed supplier invoices and payments against policy, supported accounts payable and reconciliations, and prepared audit-ready documentation. I traced a vendor payment discrepancy to a transposition error, corrected it, and prevented an overpayment.

At France Imports Limited, I processed transactions and reconciliations and verified import duty and VAT for inbound shipments. I also led the migration of stock and accounting records into QuickBooks, reducing inventory discrepancies by 3%.

As a Board Member & Financial Literacy Specialist with Lensational Organisation (Kenyan Chapter), I guide financial oversight, manage donor funds, and deliver financial literacy training. I’m now seeking to bring my hands-on accounting experience to a focused Accounts Payable role in a global technology business.
