What I'm looking for

I'm seeking part-time, fully remote financial consulting, tax orchestration, or virtual controller work on a permanent fractional or ad-hoc contract basis, up to 10 hours per week or 40 hours per month. I'm available outside standard SAST corporate hours and on Saturdays.

At FlightScope, I manage cross-border accounting and compliance across six jurisdictions, while building automated cloud workflows and custom Excel logic to streamline financial processes.

I administer Avalara AvaTax filings across 31 US states and handle South African VAT submissions and audits. My work also includes multi-currency reconciliations, payroll compliance, and reporting to Board Directors.

At Boshoff & Moore, I managed tax and accounting operations for a portfolio of more than 850 client entities, led the income tax, provisional tax, and VAT departments, and mentored colleagues. I also developed Excel financial statement templates that were implemented firm-wide.

Earlier, as a Trainee Accountant (SAIPA Internship) at LDP Chartered Accountants and Auditors Inc., I created a CaseWare Working Papers template adopted company-wide. I also founded LDP Cares / Gee Om Project, which raised and donated over R105,000 to 18 local charities.
