KRA is Kenya's primary tax administration body, responsible for collecting and accounting for tax revenues exceeding KES 2 trillion annually across corporate tax, VAT, customs, excise, and income tax streams.

• Processed daily AR transactions using the iTax ERP platform, verifying taxpayer remittances against assessment notices, identifying discrepancies, and escalating high-risk accounts within established SLAs.
• Executed monthly bank reconciliations across five government-linked collection accounts, resolving outstanding items within 48 hours and maintaining an unreconciled balance consistently below 0.5%.
• Managed end-to-end accounts payable operations including supplier invoice verification, three-way matching against purchase orders and goods receipt notes, payment scheduling, and maintenance of the supplier ledger.
• Prepared monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports including aged debtor analyses, variance reports, and tax compliance scorecards — all submitted on time with zero findings across two consecutive internal audits.
• Administered the RECTS (Revenue Electronic Cargo Tracking System) to reconcile cargo duty assessments against physical clearance records, closing a recurring revenue leakage gap on high-value import accounts.
• Led iTax ERP data migration for 1,200+ legacy debtor records, designing the validation framework and reducing manual reconciliation effort by an estimated 40%.
• Trained and mentored eight junior revenue officers in AR workflows, iTax system navigation, and KRA debt recovery procedures — resulting in a 25% increase in team processing throughput within 90 days.
