What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers growth opportunities in finance and compliance, with a focus on regulatory adherence and risk management.

I am a finance, compliance, and asset management professional with over 5 years of experience in accounting, auditing, and risk management across both private and public sectors. Currently, I serve as a Compliance Auditor at SARS, where I conduct audits on financial statements and tax returns to ensure compliance with tax laws and regulations. My strong analytical skills and attention to detail enable me to identify non-compliance areas and recommend corrective measures for improved governance.

Throughout my career, I have developed a robust skill set in financial reporting, asset register maintenance, and compliance audits. I have successfully managed inter-company recoveries and tax reporting at Ogilvy, prepared comprehensive audit reports, and contributed to policy implementation frameworks. My experience also includes supporting audits, BEE compliance, and managing HR-related financial processes, which has honed my ability to engage effectively with stakeholders and communicate complex financial information clearly.
