What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

As a dedicated financial accountant with a Bachelor's degree in Financial Accounting, I have honed my skills in various aspects of accounting and finance over the years. Currently, I am employed at Metal Concentrators SA (Pty) Ltd, where I manage daily bank statement processing, supplier invoices, and month-end reconciliations. My role requires meticulous attention to detail and the ability to analyze financial data effectively, which I have consistently demonstrated through my work.

Prior to my current position, I gained valuable experience at JTC Group, where I compiled financial statements and managed client audits. My journey began as a SAIPA Trainee Accountant, where I processed bank statements, prepared VAT returns, and led annual audits for diverse clients. This foundation has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of financial regulations and practices, enabling me to contribute positively to any organization.
