What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role focused on full accounts payable/creditors functions, accurate reconciliations, and efficient payment processing within a collaborative team and opportunities for skills growth.

I am an experienced accounts payable and creditors controller with over a decade managing full creditors functions across retail, e-commerce, logistics and travel sectors. I consistently handle invoice data capture, supplier reconciliations and payment processing with accuracy and timeliness.

At Takealot I managed a creditors book of approximately R20 million per month across 150 suppliers, reconciled foreign suppliers and courier accounts, and prepared weekly payment reconciliations. I also performed procurement, stock uplift tasks and processed supplier returns and credits.

My roles at Zando, Village n Life, Sapphire Logistics and Stor-age/Storage King expanded my skills in intercompany invoicing, credit card reconciliations, journal processing and IC allocations. I am proficient in multiple accounting and office systems and prioritise resolving supplier queries and maintaining clean supplier accounts.

I bring a dependable, process-driven approach and a strong record of improving accounts payable operations; I am available with 30 days' notice and motivated to contribute to a finance team that values accuracy and operational efficiency.
