What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a detail-driven finance role where I can improve cash application, reconciliations, payment controls, and close processes while supporting accurate, audit-ready reporting.

At Trufoods Limited, I apply and match EFT, RTGS, and deposit payments to invoices, reconcile bank and AR records to the general ledger, and resolve unapplied cash and payment exceptions. I introduced a verification process that reduced invoicing errors by 90% while maintaining audit-ready reconciliation records with zero major audit findings.

Previously at Sisi Communications Limited, I supported accounts payable and receivable, monthly financial reporting, statutory remittances, and bank reconciliations. I improved tax compliance by 99% and bring hands-on experience with NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage, Pastel, advanced Excel, and month-end close support.
