Alishia Erasmus

I’m a Finance & Accounting Manager with 7+ years of experience across construction, property management, and franchise operations, built around full-cycle Accounts Payable and reliable financial controls. I’m compliance-first and solution-driven, focused on enforcing approval workflows and keeping high-volume invoice processing accurate and timely.

I improve AP efficiency by standardising processes, strengthening vendor compliance, and using system automation to reduce manual effort. I manage multi-entity reconciliations and deliver reporting that supports audits, VAT submissions, and day-to-day business decisions.

In my recent roles, I’ve led construction and property financials, including project-based cost tracking, variance analysis, retainage, lien waivers, change orders, and revenue recognition support. I also manage financial statements preparation and audit support using tools like Xero, Hubdoc, and Draftworx (AFS preparation), while maintaining IFRS and statutory reporting alignment.

I’ve also scaled finance operations across 18+ franchise locations—implementing AP controls, payroll processing, tax compliance via SARS eFiling (VAT201, EMP201/EMP501), and mentoring junior team members. I enjoy partnering with operations and project teams to align workflows to milestones, and I bring practical workflow automation experience with Zapier, Make, n8n, and AI-driven reporting tools.
