What I'm looking for

I seek finance roles where I can lead accounting operations, support ERP implementations, strengthen internal controls, and help SMEs scale in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am an experienced finance professional with a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting and CPA certification, bringing a strong track record in accounting, financial management, and ERP implementations.

Across roles at Swissport and other organisations I managed payrolls for large workforces, led branch financial operations, prepared monthly financial reports, and supported audits while ensuring internal controls and reconciliations were robust.

I supported ERP migrations from manual systems and Tally to Sage 300 and SAP Business One, helping maintain smooth accounting operations during transitions and improving reporting capabilities.

I also volunteer as a Business Growth Analyst supporting SMEs in real estate and agriculture, focusing on customer retention, market awareness, and group formation to drive sustainable growth.
