Violet Njoroge

Driven by a passion for finance, accounting, and strategic business growth, I bring a strong academic foundation with a CPA Advance Level in progress and a Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Science, complemented by hands-on experience across corporate, consulting, and project-based roles. I have successfully optimized financial processes, implemented ERP and SAP systems, and improved reporting efficiency through Power BI and Excel models. My professional journey spans leading financial operations at L'Oréal East Africa, providing consultancy for Easthorn Trading Limited, and managing multi-county projects with Syna, where I ensured compliance, strengthened internal controls, and enhanced data reliability.
