What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role focusing on AP/P2P efficiency, strong internal controls, collaborative teams, and opportunities to lead process improvements.

I am an outcome-driven accounts payable and finance professional with hands-on experience across Source-to-Pay (S2P) and GRIR management in major FMCG operations.

At Unilever South East Africa I spearheaded a GRIR initiative across four entities, eliminating an €8m balance and achieving 84% clearance within three months and 98% by month four, while producing monthly reports for the Finance Controller.

I have strong technical capability in SAP, Coupa, Ariba, PEGA and Blackline, practical banking portal experience, and formal training in SAP FICO, IFRS and treasury/controls; I also supported IFRS hyperinflation reporting and audit requests.

I collaborate cross-functionally on process enhancements, vendor relations, payments, reconciliations and internal controls, and I seek roles where I can improve payables efficiency, strengthen controls, and mentor peers.
