What I'm looking for

I'm seeking opportunities in financial management, internal controls, or accountant roles.

At P&I Associates (Pty) Ltd, I managed the general ledger and trial balance and supported the month-end financial close. I also handled SARS eFiling submissions for Corporate Income Tax and VAT201 returns.

At BDO South Africa Inc, I completed SAICA Training Articles across public and private sector audits. I planned, executed, and finalized engagements, applied ISA and GRAP standards, and trained and supervised junior trainees.

Earlier, at Mustard & Knoesen Inc, I processed monthly transactions using Sage Pastel and compiled management accounts for small to medium-sized clients. I also prepared tax returns and carried out Compilation and Independent Review engagements.
