What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values integrity and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated accounting specialist with over a decade of experience managing full accounting processes up to Trial Balance for various clients. My expertise includes handling SARS EMP201 and VAT 201 submissions, as well as assisting external auditors with annual financial audits. I pride myself on my ability to maintain impeccable ethics and integrity in all my professional dealings, which I believe are crucial in building trust with clients and colleagues alike.

Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of clients, providing tailored accounting solutions that meet their unique needs. My experience spans various roles, including accounting technician and senior bookkeeper, where I have honed my skills in bookkeeping, tax calculations, and financial statement preparation. I am proficient in accounting software such as Quickbooks and Pastel, and I am committed to delivering high-quality service while ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements.
