I build accurate financial reporting, controls, and cashflow processes across accounting and operations.

I'm currently supporting AKCOE, LLC as a Senior Finance Associate, where I improve bank-reconciliation categorization, onboard subscribers to QuickBooks Online and Zoho, produce weekly cashflow reports, and manage close processes. I also process payroll for six entities, build financial models, support tax compliance, and prepare US GAAP financial statements.

Across Berzack Brothers, Securitas Specialised Services, Reutech Solutions, AFGRI Operations, and Barloworld Equipment, I've led reporting, budgeting, forecasting, audits, payroll, procurement, inventory, and finance teams. I bring more than 10 years of accounting experience and work confidently across US GAAP, IFRS, internal controls, and operational finance.
