What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance leadership role where I can drive IFRS reporting, record-to-report ownership, internal controls, and board-ready insights—while partnering across operations. I’m open to remote, hybrid, or on-site work and thrive in high-volume deadlines.

I’m a results-driven finance professional with 20+ years of progressive financial management experience across FMCG manufacturing, Banking SaaS/Fintech, automotive parts wholesale, and engineering. I translate complex financial data into clear, actionable business intelligence for C-suite and board-level decision-making, while owning end-to-end record-to-report responsibilities, multi-entity consolidations, and IFRS-compliant reporting.

In my current role as a Senior Financial Accountant reporting to the CFO and previously as a Finance Manager reporting to the Finance Director, I’ve steered month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations, provisions, and internal controls with audit-ready file discipline. I’ve also built practical finance frameworks—like a Cash-Flow Management Template adopted as a group standard and an interactive management accounts dashboard—while maintaining strong statutory compliance across SARS e-filing and cross-border documentation, and leading a team of 6 finance professionals.
