What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an office/finance administration role where I can own invoicing, accounts, and debtors follow-ups, improve accuracy and cash flow, and keep developing through training and structured process improvement.

I’ve built my career across office, finance, salaries, and debt collection, starting work at age 15 due to financial constraints. I’ve consistently stayed determined through setbacks, including an early exit from security work, and I used every opportunity to develop communication, reliability, and real-world financial capability.

In my current administration and financial clerk role, I handle invoicing and quotations, maintain and reconcile debtors’ accounts, allocate customer payments from bank statements, and follow up on overdue accounts to support timely collections. I also manage timesheets and assist with salary administration, while providing reception support and resolving client/account queries efficiently.

My impact is measurable: I’ve identified and corrected invoicing and stock control discrepancies, strengthened billing processes, and contributed to a turnaround from overdraft to a positive balance of approximately R700,000 within a few months. I’m loyal, trustworthy, and eager to learn—open to training and ready to expand my knowledge while delivering dependable results.
