Zahidah Chezhira Murira

I’m a Senior Finance Leader with 18+ years of experience building finance functions, controls, and reporting systems across manufacturing, FMCG, agriculture, aquaculture, distribution, and multi-company environments. At my last role, I helped set up the finance function from scratch, including SOPs, reporting routines, reconciliations, cash flow visibility, tax compliance, audit schedules, and stock control processes. I also supported successful tax audit outcomes, led stock reconciliations that improved inventory accuracy, and helped move the business from Xero to Odoo ERP, strengthening controls and making reporting more reliable. I specialize in financial reporting, cash flow management, tax compliance, audits, inventory and cost accounting, ERP implementation, dashboards, and finance automation. I’m looking for a remote Finance Manager, Financial Controller, FP&A Lead, Reporting Lead, or Finance Systems role where I can improve controls, build practical finance processes, and help leadership make better decisions. I work well with async teams, remote stakeholders, and businesses that need finance to be accurate, useful, and commercially grounded.
