South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am a zealous and results-oriented Accountant with experience in accounts payable and receivable, reconciliations, VAT preparation, budgeting, forecasting and month-end financial statement preparation. I began my career in 2024 as an Internal Audit intern and was promoted within a year to Branch Accountant at Gundle Plastics due to commitment, strong Excel ability and consistent delivery under pressure.
I have performed daily bank reconciliations, VAT reconciliations and filing, variance analysis, fixed asset counts and branch audit reviews across South Africa and Eswatini. I am eager to continue learning across business and accounting functions, apply my critical thinking and data-analytics mindset, and contribute measurable impact through accurate financial control and process improvements.
