What I'm looking for

I'm interested in pursuing opportunities across Financial Management, Corporate Finance, Agriculture, and Asset Management.

At Standish Management, I manage fund accounting and financial statement preparation for global venture capital and private equity clients, including Thrive Capital. My work includes capital calls, distributions, investor reporting, and partnership allocation workflows.

Before that, at Moore Stellenbosch, I executed and led audit engagements for corporate and agricultural clients. I prepared annual financial statements and performed independent reviews, including under IFRS for SMEs.

I’ve also completed corporate and individual tax computations and supported VAT, PAYE, and statutory compliance. I’m interested in opportunities across Financial Management, Corporate Finance, Agriculture, and Asset Management.
