I manage financial reporting, controls, audits, and month-end close across public and private-sector organisations.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I've managed general ledgers, trial balances, revenue processing, banking controls, reconciliations, and month-end close at P&I Associates.
At BDO South Africa, I completed my SAICA Articles while leading audit teams across public and private-sector clients. I planned, executed, and finalised engagements under ISA and GRAP standards, supervised junior trainees, and worked directly with managers, partners, and clients.
My earlier accounting work included monthly management accounts, VAT201 and income tax returns, Sage Pastel processing, independent reviews, compilations, and Caseware financial statements. I'm eligible to register as an AGA(SA) and bring practical financial reporting, compliance, and internal-control experience.
