What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior finance role where I can lead accounting teams, oversee tax and financial reporting, mentor staff, and drive accurate, compliant financial processes.

I am a driven senior finance professional with extensive experience in accounting, tax compliance, payroll, and financial statement preparation, currently working as a Senior Manager at Inaura Financial Solutions Inc.

I have a proven track record reviewing monthly management accounts, preparing annual financial statements, managing corporate and individual tax returns, and supervising SAICA trainees and accounting teams. I’m experienced with Caseware, Draftworx, Xero, QuickBooks, Sage Pastel, Simple Pay, and SARS eFiling.

I prioritize accuracy, confidentiality, and timely delivery while mentoring staff, conducting client meetings, and improving internal processes to support organizational success.
