Heloise Jooste
@heloisejooste
I’m a finance professional and accountant focused on accurate, efficient financial decision support.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated finance professional with a strong educational foundation in Financial Management, including Financial Accounting up to N6 level, and multiple National Certificates. Across my career, I’ve built a reputation for accuracy, efficiency, and reliable reporting that supports sound financial decisions.
I’ve worked through roles from Junior Accounting Clerk to Accountant, handling bank reconciliations, cash flow, general ledger processing up to balance sheet, VAT returns and payments, and year-end working papers for auditors. I’ve also managed day-to-day operational finance tasks such as electronic payments, petty cash and credit card processing, and reconciliations across cash, parts/workshop, and assets.
My experience extends to debtors and creditors management (including intercompany and intergroup recoveries and loan accounts), monthly report packs, benchmarking reports, and assisting with annual budgets alongside the Financial Manager/General Manager. I’m ready to bring my analytical skills, compliance focus (including SARS and Statistics SA requirements), and process discipline to a forward-thinking environment.
