What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can apply Excel and QuickBooks skills, contribute to accurate reporting, grow toward CPA certification, and work with a collaborative, detail-focused finance team.

I am a final-year Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) student at Kenyatta University with hands-on experience in financial reporting, reconciliations, and data analysis. I completed an accounting attachment at Furniture Mart and worked as a freelance data analyst handling financial data management, reporting, and automated templates for expense tracking.

I am proficient in Excel and QuickBooks and have prepared bank reconciliations, month-end close support, VAT filings, and financial dashboards to inform budgeting and cost control. I am detail-oriented, analytical, dependable, and preparing for CPA Level 1 to deepen my finance expertise.
