I've managed end-to-end bookkeeping and financial operations for organisations including BBI Enzymes SA, Indigo Brands, Bidvest, and Exp Realtors. My work spans bank and general ledger reconciliations, creditors, debtors, cashbooks, payments, and month-end processing.

With more than 25 years in finance, I prepare payroll and statutory submissions, VAT and tax returns, management accounts, budgets, audit files, fixed asset registers, and stock controls. I work confidently across Sage X3, Sage VIP Payroll, Syspro 7, Accpac, Oracle, Docuware, and MS Excel.
