Samuel Kimani Maina

What I do:

Financial Operations Support — managing WHT, petty cash, bank reconciliations, payment vouchers, documentation checks, and proof of payment requests.

HERI Program Administration Support — coordinating meetings, preparing administrative requests, managing logistics, taking minutes, and maintaining HERI records.

Program Finance and Compliance Support — reviewing partner budgets, checking financial supporting documents, maintaining audit-ready files, and ensuring accurate, compliant financial documentation.

Background

Through his work with the HERI Africa initiative, he has contributed to administration support, budgeting, procurement support, documentation compliance, stakeholder coordination, and institutional collaboration.

Advice I'd give my 8-year-old self:

"Nobody owns you nothing, learn as much as you can, and make meaningful connections and friendships."
