About

Hi, I’m Joyce Kanini, a CPA-K with an MSc in Finance & Accounting and 8+ years’ experience across fintech, construction, NGO, and accounting consultancy in the UK and East Africa. I specialize in VAT compliance, management reporting, cash flow forecasting, audits, and strong financial controls, with a track record of thriving in multi-entity environments and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

I enjoy using data and process improvements to drive cost savings and operational efficiency, and I’m adept at partnering with Finance, Audit, and Treasury to align tax and regulatory requirements with business objectives. In my next role, I aim to leverage my accounting expertise and stakeholder management skills to deliver accurate reporting, robust controls, and strategic financial insights.
