About

I’m a CPA-certified finance and accounting professional based in Nairobi, with 8+ years of experience in financial reporting, audit support, and financial analysis. I’ve built Excel-based forecasting models, scenario and sensitivity analyses, budgeting and variance analysis, and reviewer-ready written outputs that clearly log assumptions, sources, and calculations.

In addition to my core finance work, I’ve authored citation-backed reference solutions, technical memos, and quality-evaluation materials for AI training and assessment programs. I’m comfortable working independently and remotely against defined quality criteria, and I enjoy translating complex accounting or analytical logic into clear, stakeholder-friendly dashboards and documentation.
