Message

At F&S Accounting and Auditing, I’m completing a SAIPA training contract with hands-on experience across client engagements, from source documents through to finalisation. I independently manage client relationships and handle their correspondence and queries.

I compile annual financial statements under IFRS for SMEs, with exposure to full IFRS, and prepare working papers for audit, independent review and compilation engagements. I also prepare tax computations and returns, and handle SARS audits and verifications on clients’ behalf.

My BCom Law and LLB add a foundation in taxation and statutory compliance, including trusts and estates. I also maintain monthly payroll functions, including processing and issuing payslips.
