ER Scheffers
@erscheffers
Multifunctional Executive Assistant optimizing operations, documentation, and remote workflows.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dynamic, detail-driven Executive Assistant with 3+ years supporting C-level stakeholders across interior design, forensic auditing, project management, and family-business environments. I excel at streamlining operations, managing complex schedules, and coordinating stakeholder communications with minimal supervision.
I led a forensic audit that uncovered fraud, theft, and falsification by analysing client affidavits, recovered invoices, and supplier collaboration, and supported legal narrative development to drive a counter-claim strategy. I also supported project finance tracking and collaborated on brand development for a subscription accounting service.
In concurrent Executive Assistant roles I managed calendars, email triage, sensitive negotiations, client liaison, meeting preparation, and contractor/site-inspection coordination. I developed and managed national procurement and contact databases, assigned tender alerts, and structured pipelines to improve operational transparency.
Technically fluent with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint), Google Workspace, Notion, Asana, Canva, and Adobe, I author SOPs, process guidelines, and detailed inspection and legal-financial reports. I am an analytical thinker who prioritizes proactive planning, structured processes, and seamless execution.
