Finance Controller specializing in accounts payable/receivable, cost control, and import/export logistics with ERP expertise.
What I'm looking for
I’m a highly organised, detail-oriented finance and supply chain professional, currently serving as a Finance Controller. I’m responsible for accounts payable and receivable, invoice processing, reconciliations, age analysis reporting, costing, procurement support, and financial administration, with a strong focus on reporting accuracy and operational efficiency. I also coordinate international suppliers, freight forwarders, and warehouse operations to strengthen cost control, and I’ve delivered a cost savings project saving the company R3.5 million.
Previously, I worked as a Senior Controller - Supply Chain, Import & Export at Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials South Africa, managing import and export operations, shipping documentation, Incoterms, and shipment tracking. I performed GRN processing and landed cost calculations in Syspro, supported procurement and supplier communication, managed stock control and inventory movements, and prepared operational and cost reports—also assisting auditors during stock take. Earlier, I supported the business as an Office Administrator / Receptionist by handling front office reception and general administration, scheduling, calls, and filing.
