Credit Controller at BCD Travel
A Certified Public Accountant of Kenya continuously seeking to pursue more challenging opportunities in the Finance, Accounting and Administration profession. I believe my skills, training (MBA, Bachelor of Commerce, Finance Option, CPA (K), CISA) and 10+ years work experience in Accounting & Financial Management at a supervisory / management levels make me a perfect fit for such tasks. Currently, I am working as Credit Controller where I am tasked with overseeing the credit management cycle and implementing policies that lead to most accurate and timely invoicing, efficient collection, reduction of bad debts, and maintenance of client accounts while still ensuring optimal enhancement of client relations. I have also worked in other position including Finance & Administration Officer in the IT Industry where I managed five branches in East Africa in Budgeting & Variance reporting, Treasury operations, Tax payments, timely reporting of monthly financial results, general ledger reviews, ensuring all reconciliations were updated on a monthly basis and checking on their accuracy .These attributes combined with my ability to meet all financial reporting deadlines while ensuring highest levels of financial integrity in any management reporting makes me a great asset in any company. Given my understanding of the job responsibilities, coupled with the value I could bring to an organization, I strongly believe that I will be a resource in any Organization.
