What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that allows me to leverage my extensive accounting experience while contributing to a dynamic team focused on financial excellence and compliance.

I am a dedicated and experienced accounting professional with over a decade of success in managing finances for medium to large corporations. My expertise lies in preparing financial statements, tax strategy development, and ensuring compliance with tax regulations. I have a proven track record of optimizing clients' financial positions through effective tax planning and strategic financial management.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Tax Auditor at SARS, where I performed specialized audits to ensure taxpayer compliance and investigated cases of non-filing. My experience as a Financial Accountant at Thavi Chartered Accountants involved preparing and submitting tax returns, conducting BBBEE audits, and managing forensic audits for municipalities. I am skilled in budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting, with a strong foundation in IFRS and IAS.
