Adorable Chikamhi
@adorablechikamhi
Experienced bookkeeper and audit-focused finance professional delivering IFRS-compliant records, payroll, and tax reporting.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a finance professional focused on accurate bookkeeping and strong reporting, with a consistent emphasis on IFRS-compliant financial records. I enjoy being the “go to” financial person who helps steer organizations toward profitable outcomes through clear numbers and cost-conscious insights.
In my recent roles, I recorded transactions into the general ledger, prepared monthly financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow), and reconciled bank statements to maintain clean books. I’ve also handled payroll processing (wages, UIF, PAYE) and ensured VAT preparation and submissions, including support for auditor updates and compliance work.
Earlier experience strengthened my risk and controls mindset through internal and external audit work, where I performed walkthroughs, gap analysis against best practice, and risk identification with practical mitigations. I’m now applying that same discipline to bookkeeping and administration, including debtor maintenance, invoicing, credit checks, and reconciliation work—always with a proactive, “can do” approach to solving complex problems.
