What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a dedicated accounting or finance role where I can deliver accurate bookkeeping, reconciliations, and financial reporting, support SARS and audits, and keep improving my Excel, forecasting, and financial modelling skills.

I’m a results-focused accounting and finance professional with an ICB National Diploma in Financial Accounting (NQF Level 6) and ACCA studies in progress, with six exemptions already secured. I build reliable bookkeeping to trial balance, ensuring financial statements are ready and consistent, with the discipline to maintain accurate records and support timely reporting.

In my freelance bookkeeping work, I prepared year-end financial statements and supporting schedules for 3 small businesses, helping with SARS-related submissions and improving reporting readiness. I reconcile bank, supplier, and customer balances, organise source documents, resolve queries, and reduce turnaround time for complete financial packs by an estimated 20%, while also identifying discrepancies before final submission.
