Jade Abels
@jadeabels
Reliable administrative professional skilled in office operations and customer support.
What I'm looking for
I am an administrative professional with hands-on experience across office administration, invoicing, and customer service within industrial and accounting sectors. I hold a BA in Communication Studies from the University of South Africa and have worked in roles that required strong organisational discipline and attention to detail.
My recent roles include Junior Administrator at Tax Consulting South Africa where I perform data entry, scheduling, document preparation, and basic bookkeeping, and earlier administration and invoicing duties using Sage and Dext. I also have experience in customer-facing positions including product promotion, brand ambassadorship and electoral work.
I consistently deliver reliable support for internal communications, supply management, and record-keeping while resolving customer inquiries and invoice discrepancies. I bring strong written and verbal communication, time management, and problem-solving skills to daily operations.
I am motivated by accurate, efficient office systems and collaborative teams where I can apply my organisational strengths, continuous-learning mindset, and proficiency with Microsoft Office, Sage, Teams and accounting portals to improve processes and support business needs.
