## About

```text
At Westfalia Fruit, I process end-to-end payroll for 600+ employees using Sage 300 People and PaySpace, including Mozambique payroll and its country-specific statutory requirements.

I validate payroll inputs and resolve earnings, deductions, and company contribution variances before processing. I also prepare audit-ready records and resolve payroll and tax queries from employees, HR, and management.

At Massmart, I managed end-to-end payroll for 2,000+ employees and supported audit processes and internal financial controls. My background also includes fraud investigation at First National Bank and postgraduate study in Management Accounting.
