Hire the Best IFRS Accounting Experts
in Kenya

When your business operates across borders, your accounting and tax obligations do not follow one rulebook. They follow several, and the cost of getting them wrong is not just a late fee. It is regulatory exposure across multiple jurisdictions, missed deductions, misclassified income, and financials that will not hold up when a bank, investor, or tax authority looks closely. I am CPA Felistas Njihia, a Senior Auditor and Financial Analyst with over 8 years of experience in cross-border accounting, international tax compliance, IFRS financial reporting, and audit. I work with founders, remote-first companies, e-commerce businesses, and foreign-owned entities that operate across the US, Canada, and Australia and need their books, tax filings, and financial statements built to withstand scrutiny in every jurisdiction they touch. My cross-border compliance work covers: Form 5472 and pro forma Form 1120 filings for foreign-owned US single-member LLCs treated as disregarded entities under IRC Section 6038A mandatory regardless of income or activity, with a $25,000 IRS penalty for non-compliance. US federal and state tax preparation, including Forms 1040-NR, 1120, and 1065 for non-resident owners and foreign-owned entities. Canadian tax compliance, including T1 and T2 filings, GST/HST reporting, and cross-border advisory for businesses operating on both sides of the US-Canada border. Australian bookkeeping and reporting, including BAS preparation, GST reconciliation, and Xero-based financial management for Australian entities. IFRS and US GAAP financial statements prepared for investors, lenders, and audit standards. Multi-currency and multi-entity reconciliations across QuickBooks Online and Xero. Full audit engagement management from planning through to final reporting for portfolios of up to 20 clients simultaneously. What separates me from most accountants on Upwork is audit-level judgment applied to every engagement, not just the ones that say "audit" in the title. I do not just post transactions. I review supporting documents. I assess risk and inconsistencies. I flag issues early. I close loops. I work as if your financials will be reviewed by tax authorities: IRS, CRA, ATO investors, banks, and regulators. Because across the clients I serve, they often are. My engagements are fixed-scope and fixed-fee wherever possible. You know what you are getting, what it costs, and when it is delivered. No hourly surprises. No scope creep. The tools I work in daily include QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Sage Intacct, Zoho Books, WaveApps, Hubdoc, Dext, ApprovalMax, and Bill for accounting and bookkeeping workflows. For audit engagements I work in CaseWare and AuditBoard. For financial reporting and analysis I use Microsoft Excel at an advanced level, Microsoft Power BI, and Tableau. For US tax preparation, I work with Drake Tax and TaxSlayer across individual and corporate filings, including Forms 1040, 1040-NR, 1120, 1065, and 5472. For Canadian tax compliance, I use TaxCycle and ProFile for T1 personal, T2 corporate, T3, and GST/HST filings via CRA EFILE and NETFILE. For Australian compliance, I work with Xero Tax and LodgeiT for BAS preparation, GST reconciliation, and ATO lodgement, alongside MYOB for Australian entity bookkeeping. I am a certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and work comfortably across cloud-based, multi-currency, and multi-entity accounting environments used by remote-first and international businesses. If your business touches more than one country and you need your accounting, tax, and financial reporting handled with discipline, accuracy, and accountability across every jurisdiction it operates in, let us get to work.

Input was required from me only for essential things that only I would know (for example, was a flight business or personal?). He did this in under two weeks. He was easy to work with. The time I saved by hiring him easily paid for itself many times over. My accountant was also able to take his work and quickly sort my taxes. I would say my fear of an IRS letter has plummeted by at least 85% and I sleep better at night for having hired Isaiah." Derek F. | Director "Isaiah helped to get us up to date with our bookeeping. He takes instruction very quickly and has experience with businesses in different industries. He is very adaptable and fulfilled a number of impromptu requests for reports, downloads, uploads, time keeping and payroll production etc. I highly recommend Isaiah and would certainly use him again if we have more work to do." Kyana | CEO Leverage Assessments, Inc. "Isaiah was a steadfast and ever-reliable assistant for a wide variety of projects and tasks both simple and technically complex.
