What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values teamwork.

I am a dedicated finance professional with a National Diploma in Financial Information Systems from the University of Johannesburg. Over the past several years, I have honed my skills in various financial roles, including my current position as an Administrative Officer in Finance at the University of Pretoria. My experience encompasses managing financial records, ensuring compliance with regulations, and coordinating travel and procurement processes.

In my previous role as an Accounting Clerk at MD Poopedi and Co., I was responsible for preparing and analyzing financial statements, conducting internal audits, and managing bookkeeping tasks. My attention to detail and commitment to accuracy have allowed me to effectively support clients in their financial reporting and tax obligations. I thrive in environments that challenge my analytical skills and allow me to contribute to the financial health of an organization.
