Credit controller and accountant with strong systems, collections, and process-improvement skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a credit controller and accountant with over five years of experience in accounting and credit management, skilled in debtor management, bank reconciliations and VAT reporting. I introduced Pastel Evolution and Pastel Accounting implementations and improved debtor controls to reduce bad debt by 15%.
My background includes roles across pharmaceuticals, mining, wood manufacturing and transport where I led administrative system development, implemented requisition and filing workflows, and supervised accounts staff. I am proficient in Microsoft Office, Pastel Accounting (v9, v11) and Pastel Evolution, and comfortable adapting to multicultural environments.
I am disciplined, analytical and technically capable — holding additional licenses for heavy vehicles, excavator and forklift — and I focus on reliable execution, process improvement and measurable outcomes that support financial controls and operational efficiency.
