What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in finance management that fosters growth and innovation.

I am a seasoned finance manager with over 10 years of experience in the public sector, specializing in external audits and financial management. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a proven track record of delivering results in complex financial environments. I have held senior management positions for 8 years, where I successfully managed accounting operations, budget preparation, and regulatory reporting.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various public sector entities, including the Gauteng Department of Education and the Financial Intelligence Centre. My expertise extends to compliance with laws and regulations such as PFMA and IFRS, ensuring that organizations meet their financial obligations while maintaining high standards of governance. I am passionate about developing innovative financial processes and improving internal controls to enhance organizational efficiency.
