What I'm looking for
At Marsh Pty Ltd, I lead fiduciary finance operations across South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Nigeria, Malawi, Uganda, Zambia and Tunisia. I manage a team supporting receipting, payments, claims finance and data integrity.
I review complex bank, cash, revenue and fiduciary reconciliations, investigate unexplained items and coordinate corrective entries through to resolution. I also oversee bad debt calculations, revenue reconciliations, reclassification journals and finance reporting across multiple legal entities.
At Marsh Pty Ltd, I previously managed fiduciary accounting systems and regional finance-system support. I completed monthly reconciliations, investigated interface and data-integrity exceptions, and performed user acceptance testing before production deployment.
Earlier, I managed claims finance operations at Marsh Pty Ltd and Alexander Forbes Risk Services, overseeing claims float and reconciliations and preparing forecasts, budgets and pro-forma invoices. My earlier roles included accounting, bookkeeping, cash management and financial reporting.
