What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an accounting or finance leadership role where I can strengthen controls, improve reporting timelines, manage compliance, and use ERP automation to build an efficient finance function.

I've delivered full-cycle accounting, VAT and Corporate Tax compliance, and IFRS-aligned financial statements for Reflection Point Productions, supporting service businesses with monthly revenue of ZAR 10 million.

I reduced month-end close to 3–5 days, cleared more than two years of backlog accounting, rebuilt the chart of accounts, and reduced manual workload by 30%. I also recovered ZAR 3M in overpayments through reconciliation clean-ups.

Across Reflection Point Productions, H2O International, and M Couves CA(SA), I've managed reporting, reconciliations, payroll, budgeting, audit preparation, cash flow, and finance team support. I'm available immediately on a freelance visa in the UAE.
