What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my analytical skills in data analytics, with opportunities for growth and a collaborative company culture.

I am a finance professional with a robust foundation in financial management and audit, blending strategic analysis, compliance, and data interpretation skills. My experience includes significant roles such as Associate Auditor at the Office of the Auditor General, where I contributed to a 15% improvement in process adherence and a 20% increase in document accuracy. I have a proven track record in project accounting and vendor relations, utilizing tools like SQL, MS Power BI, and Tableau for comprehensive data analysis and visualization.

During my tenure as a Treasury Accountant at Mabati Rolling Mills, I achieved a 15% reduction in borrowing costs and a 25% improvement in solvency through optimized cash management. My ability to drive data-driven decision-making has led to substantial achievements in financial analysis and reporting. I am results-driven and detail-oriented, seeking opportunities in data analytics to leverage my analytical skills in deriving valuable insights from complex datasets.
