More Than Numbers — We Power Purpose

At Busara, our Finance Team is not just about tracking money—it’s about building systems of trust, sustainability, and strategic impact. With oversight across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, and India, the team ensures that every dollar and decision reflects Busara’s core values: curiosity, purpose, respect, and togetherness.

More than managing budgets and producing reports, the team acts as a strategic enabler, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently, transparently, and in full alignment with our mission to apply behavioral science for global development. The Finance Team is integral to Busara’s operational resilience, compliance integrity, and long-term financial health.
