What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a supportive environment that fosters growth.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented Accounts Payable Controller with over four years of experience in financial management and accounting. Currently, I am working at Pinnacle Micro (Pty) Ltd, where I have honed my skills in monthly reconciliations, vendor management, and payment processing. My proactive approach and commitment to accuracy have allowed me to effectively manage accounts payable tasks while ensuring compliance with VAT requirements and company policies.

In my previous roles, I have demonstrated strong leadership abilities as an Acting Supervisor, where I successfully supervised a team, evaluated performance, and directed daily activities. My educational background includes a Diploma in Accountancy from the University of Johannesburg and ongoing studies towards a BCom in Accounting at Mancosa. I am passionate about continuous learning and personal development, and I strive to contribute positively to my team and organization.
