What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote or international opportunities in billing, accounts receivable, finance operations, credit control, collections, customer retention, revenue operations, or telecoms billing where I can improve accuracy, resolve complex issues, and support customers.

At BDR Group, I manage end-to-end billing and customer retention work, from invoicing, adjustments, credit notes, and reconciliations to cancellations, Early Termination Charges, settlement invoicing, and final billing closures.

I coordinate closures across Giacom, Gamma ITS, and BT Wholesale, while resolving complex contractual, service, and billing queries with suppliers, Account Managers, and internal teams.

Previously at MRI Software, I supported multi-currency billing processes, investigated billing issues, resolved client disputes, and contributed to accurate financial reporting. At MetroFibre Networx, I processed receipts, reconciled invoice discrepancies, and maintained accurate debtor accounts.

My background also includes collections, legal compliance, recovery negotiations, and team leadership at Nedbank and Centracom. I bring a customer-focused approach to detailed finance operations and work comfortably with Pastel, Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Salesforce, and Microsoft Office.
