Message

At Agricultural Sector Education Training Authority (AgriSETA), I coordinate the management accounting function, including monthly and quarterly reporting and organisational budgeting. I work to align budgets with the approved Strategic Plan and Annual Performance Plan.

I support financial reporting under the PFMA, GRAP and National Treasury requirements. My work includes reviewing reconciliations, preparing Annual Financial Statements support, and helping resolve audit findings.

At Agricultural Research Council, I was a Temporary Management Accountant responsible for management accounts, budget maintenance and quarterly reporting. I also supported audit preparation and worked with sub-divisions on reporting and budget matters.

Earlier, I held financial management and analysis roles at N3 Toll Concession (RF) Proprietary Limited, City of Johannesburg and Qmuzik Technologies (Pty) Ltd. My experience includes budgets and forecasts, financial reporting, variance analysis, reconciliations and audit processes.
