Laurel Govender
@laurelgovender
I deliver accurate accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, and audit work across diverse client portfolios.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently preparing audit files from start to finish at C and S Chartered Accountants Incorporated, managing audit clients across private companies, NPOs, body corporates, schools, and donor-funded entities.
I plan and execute audits, assess risks and internal controls, perform substantive and analytical procedures, and prepare annual financial statements using CaseWare and Excel. I manage multiple engagements while meeting strict reporting deadlines.
Previously, I supported Dees Steel Reinforcing for nine years with bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and EMP submissions, reconciliations, invoicing, accounts payable and receivable, stock control, and financial statement preparation. I'm completing my SAICA training contract and bring a BCom in Accounting and CaseWare certification.
