Swahili & Somali Translator | Accountant & Bookkeeper | Virtual Assist

I'm a Kenyan freelancer who works in Swahili, Somali, and English, and I help businesses and individuals get things done properly and on time. My language work is where I started: translation, transcription, subtitling, and localization that reads the way people actually speak, including everyday Kenyan Swahili and Sheng. I care about getting tone and meaning right, not just the words. Alongside that, I work as a virtual assistant, handling inboxes, scheduling, research, data entry, and the small daily tasks that eat up your time. I also edit videos, from trimming and cleaning up raw footage to adding captions and giving clips a polished finish. I'm a patient, clear tutor as well, and I enjoy explaining things in a way that makes them stick. On the logistics side, I can work as a truck dispatcher, coordinating loads, drivers, and schedules while keeping communication tight. What ties it all together is a real commitment to quality. I genuinely love this work, and that passion shows in the details: the extra proofread, the clarifying question, the small fix nobody asked for but everyone notices. I don't hand over anything I wouldn't be proud to put my own name on. And if, somehow, you're still not satisfied, I'll happily refund you. I just don't expect to ever be paying it, because I'd probably keep fixing it until you were happy anyway. Clients have described me as reliable, professional, and quick to deliver, and I've finished projects ahead of schedule. I reply promptly, ask questions when something is unclear, and treat your project like it's my own. If you need someone dependable who pays attention to detail, send me a message and let's talk about what you need.
