About Me

Who I Am

I'm a QuickBooks Certified Bookkeeper with a BCom in Finance from Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology. I bring together formal finance education, 4+ years of hands-on bookkeeping experience across QuickBooks Online and Xero, and modern AI-assisted workflows to deliver financial services that are accurate, timely, and genuinely useful.

Over the past few years I've worked across bookkeeping, financial transcription editing, and AI data annotation — building a profile that combines deep finance expertise with practical tech fluency. I work fully remotely and thrive in async, deadline-driven environments.

Whether you need clean monthly books, a QuickBooks setup, or a custom Excel dashboard, I bring the same standard: precision, reliability, and clear communication.

⚠ CPA Peer Feedback — Incorporated
A CPA reviewer noted that deeper analysis would benefit from additional metrics — including a liquidity ratio (liquid assets vs. monthly expenses) to distinguish truly liquid reserves from illiquid net assets like property, and a fundraising efficiency ratio (fundraising expense vs. revenue raised) to complete the sustainability picture. These are valid enhancements that would be added in a client-facing engagement.
