What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in financial management where I can apply my expertise in financial analysis, auditing, and team leadership to contribute to organizational growth and compliance.

I am a dedicated and results-driven finance professional with a strong background in financial management, auditing, and team leadership. Currently serving as a Senior Bookkeeper/Accountant at Tsiba Education NPC, I specialize in processing complex financial transactions, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, and managing multiple currencies. My expertise includes preparing for annual audits, reconciling bank accounts, and maintaining meticulous financial records.

Prior to my current role, I worked as a Finance and Business Contractor/Senior Bookkeeper, where I provided comprehensive financial services, including budgeting, financial reporting, and business process optimization. I also have experience as a Finance Administrator at Habitat for Humanity South Africa, where I managed donor and supplier invoices, processed payments, and supported grant management.

Earlier in my career, I served as an Accounting and Mathematics Tutor, helping students achieve academic success. My foundational experience includes roles as an Administration Clerk at Stikland Hospital and a Bursary Clerk at Northlink College, where I honed my skills in financial administration and student support services.
