administrative assistant at NRC (Norwegian Refugee Council) for three years whereby I prepared all
voucher payments for the office, made payments on time and also updated the books on daily basis to
reflect the actual cash balances. Besides, I have been devotedly handling office petty cash and conduct
bank reconciliation as well as preparing cash analysis on daily basis. Furthermore, I ensured maintenance
of accurate records and Preservation of the financial filling. I did not only confirm that copies are
retained at the end of each project and but also processes invoices and credit notes. I have worked as
with Islamic Relief Worldwide as Finance assistant for three Years . My role was ensuring payments are
made by supporting documentation, verifying claims for action and conformance with administrative
rules and regulations and liaise with other offices as appropriate. Assist with follow-up on recoveries.
More importantly, I have had to perform and oversee daily, weekly and monthly payment runs and also
ensure payment approvals are obtained and installments made. More importantly, I used to assist in the
preparation of monthly salary statements and expense claims as well as preparation of monthly and
quarterly financial reports. My duties of admin included I made travel arrangements including processing
of travel authorizations, security clearances travel booking i.e. scanning and forwarding to Nairobi office
and preparing and processing visa requests, brief staff on policies and procedures relating to official
travel, provide guidance on proper completion of travel claims and responds to queries related to all
claims. As knowledgeable and experienced candidate, I have performed all of the duties acquired for the
ever- lasting success of the finance department

I have Bachelor Degree of Accounting and Finance plus many related Diplomas and attended different
workshops about financial management. I have good communication skills and decision-making. I have a
vast experience in the areas of cash flow management, account processing, budgeting, bank
reconciliations and payment management and use all software’s (AX system, Peachtree, QuickBooks).

In short, I would be very grateful to meet you and discuss more in an interview. I can be contacted via
