What I'm looking for

Seeking a dynamic environment to leverage my financial expertise and contribute to organizational growth with a focus on accuracy and compliance.

I am a dedicated and organized bookkeeper with over nine years of experience across various sectors including manufacturing, retail, and health. My expertise lies in ensuring accurate financial records, timely processing of payments, and preparing comprehensive reports. I have a proven track record of balancing bank reconciliations and managing payroll for over 100 employees.

In my current role at HIVSA (NPO), I support all financial areas, including preparing payment requisitions, capturing transactions on Pastel Evolution, and analyzing budget reports. I also process vendor payments and provide support for audits. Previously, at Jad Doors Pty (Ltd), I handled accounts payable, accounts receivable, and maintained records for over 70 clients.

I hold certifications in USAID and CDC Financial Management and Compliance, as well as an Excel Certificate from Sustainability Solutions. I am committed to continuous learning, regularly taking accounting classes on AccountingCoach.com.
