At Towne Nursing, I manage the Business Intelligence Director’s diary and produce project, profit and loss, accounts receivable, shift, and recruitment reporting. I use Claude AI/LLMs to build CRM platforms and simplify administrative and accounting workflows.
Previously at Retail Leasing & Developments, I coordinated billing, reconciliations, payments, VAT and PAYE submissions, payslips, leases, CIPC renewals, audits, and office resource control across six retail centres.
At ITEC Tiyende, I led day-to-day administration, managed an administrative team, coordinated tenders, contracts, SLAs, service schedules, project logistics, suppliers, and client communication. I also supported billing, collections, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, month-end journals, and management reporting.
I bring structured, accurate support to complex operations, with a focus on improving workflows, maintaining compliance, and helping teams make informed decisions.
