Edwin Kimani

I am Edwin Kimani, a detail-oriented accounting professional with a background in commerce and advanced training in auditing, forensic accounting, and data analytics. I specialize in supporting organizations with accurate financial reporting, audit preparation, and data-driven insights that enhance efficiency and compliance.

My academic foundation in Accounting (B.Com, Accounting Option) and ongoing Master of Science in Commerce (Accounting) provides me with both theoretical and practical grounding. I have built expertise in areas such as internal controls, forensic audits, and financial analysis, while also exploring modern techniques like data analytics tools for fraud detection and risk management.

Beyond accounting, I have developed practical exposure in data analytics and visualization, applying tools such as Excel, Stata, and Python for tasks like regression analysis, forecasting, and churn analysis. I am also familiar with designing audit tests, documenting processes, and preparing clear reports that support decision-making at management level.

My skills include:

• Accounting & Financial Reporting: Preparation and review of statements, reconciliations, and compliance checks.

• Auditing & Forensic Techniques: Internal audits, risk assessment, fraud detection, and forensic accounting investigations.

• Data Analytics: Statistical modeling, regression, and business insights through structured analysis.

• Research & Report Writing: Strong academic and professional writing in accounting, governance, and finance.

I bring a mix of academic excellence, analytical ability, and problem-solving skills, making me suitable for junior to mid-level roles in accounting, auditing, and analytics. My passion is to help businesses and clients gain clarity in their finances, strengthen internal controls, and use data to improve outcomes.

I am seeking freelance opportunities where I can contribute meaningfully, learn from diverse projects, and grow into more advanced roles in accounting, auditing, and analytics. With flexibility, attention to detail, and commitment to deadlines, I aim to deliver high-quality work that adds measurable value to every client.
