What I'm looking for
I am an experienced Executive Assistant and Accounting Administrator currently working at FACHS Financial Services in Johannesburg. My role involves a blend of reinsurance and insurance accounting, where I prepare debit and credit notes, manage invoicing, and process payments. I also provide executive support by coordinating schedules, drafting communications, and managing travel arrangements. My commitment to operational efficiency is evident in my ability to supervise staff and track performance metrics effectively.
With a solid educational background in accounting, including a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting and various certifications, I have developed a strong foundation in financial management and bookkeeping. My previous roles have equipped me with skills in diary management, document preparation, and maintaining accurate records. I am proficient in various accounting software, including D365, Xero, and Pastel Accounting, which enhances my ability to deliver precise financial reporting and reconciliation.
I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my organizational skills and attention to detail. I am passionate about building relationships with stakeholders and ensuring smooth administrative operations. My goal is to contribute to a team that values collaboration and efficiency while continuing to grow in my accounting career.
