What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in financial management that offers opportunities for growth and development.

With over 15 years of experience in financial management and accounting, I have honed my skills in overseeing complex financial operations across various industries. My journey has taken me through roles such as Financial Manager at ERB Group, where I managed financial forecasts and implemented a new wage system, and as a Management Accountant at Boer and Brit Wines, where I integrated accounting and inventory systems to enhance operational efficiency.

I pride myself on my attention to detail and my ability to manage multiple financial functions simultaneously. My expertise extends to preparing budgets, conducting audits, and ensuring compliance with financial regulations. I have a proven track record of improving financial processes and reporting, which has significantly contributed to the success of the organizations I have worked with. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive financial performance and support business growth.
