What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in accounting or financial management that offers growth opportunities and allows me to utilize my technical skills and leadership abilities.

I am a dedicated and results-driven accounting professional with over two decades of experience in bookkeeping, accounting, and financial management. My expertise spans a wide range of financial tasks, including journal entries, payroll processing, VAT & PAYE submissions, and office management. I have a proven track record of leading teams and ensuring compliance with financial regulations.

In my current role as an Accountant and Assistant at DPPA & Associates, I have honed my skills in preparing financial statements, managing debtor and creditor accounts, and ensuring SARS compliance. I am also the owner of CK Bookkeeping & Consultants, where I provide comprehensive bookkeeping services to clients, including personal tax returns and financial statement preparations.

My professional journey includes roles at Dimeric Consulting and Glamour Models Management, where I handled all aspects of bookkeeping, payroll administration, and HR functions. I hold certifications in Xero and have extensive experience with various accounting software, including Pastel Partner, Sage Cloud, and Excel.
