What I'm looking for

I’m open to suitable international relocation opportunities and eligible to live and work in the United Kingdom.

At Absolute Accountants / Laserxpress (Pty) Ltd, I lead day-to-day finance operations across multiple entities, covering financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and cash-flow planning.

I prepare IFRS-compliant financial information and present reports and recommendations to executives and boards. I also oversee tax and payroll compliance and coordinate audits with auditors and other stakeholders.

In my company secretarial work, I advise directors on governance duties and compliance, and organise board and committee meetings. I prepare board materials and manage statutory records and company filings.

At Absolute Accountants, I provide accounting, tax, payroll, and company secretarial services to companies, trusts, non-profit organisations, and individuals. I’m also a Finance Committee Chair, Audit Committee Member, and Independent Non-Executive Director.
