What I'm looking for

I am seeking a stable finance role focusing on creditors/accounts payable where I can apply SAP and foreign-payments expertise, strengthen controls, and support month-end processes.

I am an experienced accounts payable and creditors specialist with extensive hands-on experience in SAP, foreign currency payments, GRNI/GRIR maintenance and reconciliations across large FMCG and manufacturing environments. I have consistently managed timeous supplier payments, vendor master data, accruals and complex foreign payment pack preparations while liaising with procurement, clearing agents and banks to control exposure and ensure compliance.

I bring a strong track record across multinational companies in creditors, debtors and credit control roles, with achievements in maintaining accurate sub-ledgers, improving reconciliation processes and supporting financial managers and auditors. I am detail-oriented, process-driven and committed to strengthening internal controls and delivering reliable month-end and payment-cycle outcomes.
