I hold an MSc in Finance and Banking with a distinction-level dissertation and have completed part of the ACCA qualification. My proven track record includes managing accounts payable, conducting financial modeling, performing variance analysis, and supporting audits, all while aligning financial operations with strategic goals in fast-paced environments.

In my most recent role as a Finance Officer at Vibrance in London, I managed accounts payable through Sage 200, optimized invoice processing, and conducted monthly financial analysis and forecasting. My responsibilities also included preparing financial statements, supporting audits, and providing financial induction to new staff. Previously, as a Finance Associate Consultant at the Norwegian Refugee Council in Nairobi, I managed cash flow, conducted cost analysis, and prepared employee expense reports, ensuring audit readiness through meticulous financial tracking.
