Senior Accountant specializing in finance control, audit readiness, and compliant tax reporting.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Finance and Accounts professional and Senior Accountant with both professional and educational background in accounting and finance management, bringing over 7 years of exemplary performance in the accounting and finance field. I’m detail-oriented, focused on accurate records, and committed to finance control, audit readiness, and tax compliance.
In my current role at Imani Marianist, a non-profit organization, I maintain and update data records using QuickBooks, prepare payment vouchers upon approval, and support project teams with grant proposal budgets and annual budgeting processes. I monitor project funds expenditure, ensure program activities align with funder compliance guidelines, prepare monthly project reports and donor financial reports, and develop cash forecasts to support project disbursements.
I also manage the external audit process by ensuring timely implementation of audit recommendations, while keeping fixed assets and inventory records accurate and up to date. Alongside this, I file monthly returns such as PAYE, NSSF, and SHIF, conduct monthly bank reconciliation, and act as a focal person for vendor and contractual engagements—ensuring strong internal controls and reliable reporting.
Previously, I worked as an Accountant/Cashier at Together as One microfinance, handling cheques, maintaining cashbook, reconciling cashbook with bank statements, ensuring passbooks and loanees are reconciled on time, and preparing for external audits through consistent accounts maintenance and payment processing. Earlier, as an Accountant at Sirnare Limited, I handled invoicing, accounts receivables, expenses and financial records, statutory deductions (including VAT, PAYE, and NSSF), petty-cash controls, and administration—building a strong foundation that I later complemented with customer service experience at Eskay Holding (Real Estate), where I managed client enquiries and resolved complaints with timely reporting.
