Accounting and Finance expert, editing and proofreading services

I’m Josphat Magero, a finance and accounting professional with over seven years of experience transforming complex financial challenges into clear, actionable solutions. Born in Kenya and now based in New York, my journey blends a passion for numbers with a commitment to helping businesses thrive. Growing up, I was the kid who organized our family’s small grocery budget, finding ways to stretch every shilling. That early knack for problem-solving led me to pursue a Bachelor’s in Accounting at Nairobi University (2013–2017) and a Master’s Certificate in Accounting from the University of Nairobi (2020), where I honed my expertise in financial strategy and compliance.
My career began in freelance accounting, where I managed ledgers, payroll, and tax filings for startups and mid-sized firms on platforms like Upwork. One memorable project was with a retail client, where my meticulous bank reconciliations uncovered $25,000 in unclaimed vendor credits—a win that reinforced my love for turning chaos into clarity. Since 2021, I’ve also excelled as a data entry specialist, handling large datasets with 99% accuracy and a typing speed of 70+ WPM. My work on academic writing projects sharpened my ability to distill complex ideas, while my SEO marketing gigs taught me to align precision with impact.
I value integrity, collaboration, and continuous growth. Whether implementing GAAP-compliant financial reports or automating processes with QuickBooks and Xero, I strive to empower clients—helping a tech startup secure $2M in funding through precise forecasting stands out as a proud moment. My adaptability shines in remote settings, where I’ve collaborated across industries like tech and healthcare, ensuring confidentiality with SOC 2 and GDPR standards.
Outside work, I’m an avid chess player, finding parallels between strategic moves and financial planning. I also enjoy hiking New York’s trails, recharging my focus, and volunteering at local nonprofits to teach financial literacy. These hobbies reflect my belief in balance and community impact.
As a CPA with an MBA in Finance from the University of Nairobi, I’m driven to simplify finances for employers, delivering reliable insights and innovative solutions. Let’s connect at magerojosphat08@gmail.com to explore how I can support your team’s success.
