What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to leverage my accounting skills in a collaborative environment, whether remote or in-office, while contributing to financial efficiency and compliance.

I am an ambitious and versatile accounting and finance professional with a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and partially completed CTA. My experience spans financial reporting, bookkeeping, payroll, and auditing, where I have developed a strong proficiency in tools such as Xero, Sage Pastel, and Microsoft Excel. I pride myself on my ability to manage both remote workflows and in-office operations, ensuring compliance with IFRS and delivering accurate financial analyses.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my commitment to efficiency and adaptability in dynamic organizational environments. My role as a Virtual Assistant at VA Connect allowed me to deliver bookkeeping and account management services to international clients, while my part-time position at Trendy Furbish honed my skills in managing accounts payable and receivable. I have also conducted financial audits at Vusi Mokwena Chartered Accountants, where I provided valuable recommendations to enhance internal controls.
