What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a dynamic organization that values growth and innovation.

I am a Chartered Accountant (CA) with a strong background in finance and auditing, dedicated to implementing best practices and ensuring compliance with financial regulations. My career spans over a decade, during which I have held key positions in reputable firms such as Deloitte & Touche and BDO South Africa, where I honed my skills in financial management, audit planning, and team leadership.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led teams in conducting audits, preparing financial statements, and advising on internal controls. My analytical skills enable me to identify opportunities for improvement and implement effective solutions to complex financial challenges. I am passionate about fostering a collaborative work environment and mentoring junior staff to achieve their professional goals.
