Enthusiastic business support manager with strong analytical skills.
What I'm looking for
I am an enthusiastic and target-oriented business support manager with extensive experience in transactional reporting and account management. Currently, I work at Acre Contractors Ltd, where I process client and supplier invoices, monitor project costs, and support payroll operations. My role involves collaborating with project teams to ensure budgets are adhered to and highlighting any concerns that may arise. I thrive under pressure and excel in organizational and time management skills, which I have honed while balancing my full-time job with my ACCA qualification studies.
Previously, I served as a business support manager at Norfreeze Pula Fashions in Botswana, where I recorded invoices, reported on profitability, and led a successful social media promotion project. My experience also includes working as an accounts assistant at Herma Auto Services, where I processed invoices and reviewed service profitability. Additionally, I have a passion for coaching, having developed cricket workshops and team-building initiatives for schools in Botswana.
