What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can apply payroll, tax, and reconciliation expertise, contribute to audit readiness, and grow within a collaborative, compliance-focused team.

I am a results-driven accounting professional with a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting from the University of Venda and hands-on experience as a Financial Officer at Sasol Thavhani Mall. I consistently achieved 100% accuracy in monthly bank reconciliations, supported full payroll processing including statutory deductions, and maintained audit-ready digital and paper records.

I completed structured practical training at the University of Venda covering taxation, VAT and income tax returns, IFRS/GAAP application, and internal auditing. I am proficient in Sage, Pastel, and advanced Excel (VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables), and I build strong supplier relationships while delivering reliable financial insights to support decision-making.
