What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in a reputable organization where I can leverage my expertise in bookkeeping management to drive business growth and success.

With over five years of hands-on experience in Bookkeeping, Accounting, Payroll, Tax compliance, and Financial o\Operations across diverse industries, I bring both technical proficiency and a collaborative mindset to support dynamic finance teams.

In my most recent role as Group Accountant and Backoffice Support Manager at MyCFO Africa, I managed month-end closings, payroll functions, and SARS submissions for a portfolio of clients. My work consistently ensured compliance and accuracy, contributing to a 30% increase in client retention through improved onboarding and service delivery. I am highly skilled in tools such as XERO, SAGE One, QuickBooks, and Microsoft Excel , and have also trained finance teams in SOP implementation and system transitions.

I pride myself on being detail-oriented, adaptable, and proactive . Whether supporting budgeting, reconciling accounts, or preparing reports, I approach each task with accountability and a focus on adding value to the broader finance function.
