What I'm looking for

I am looking for a hands-on finance role where I can manage reconciliations, creditors/debtors, payroll and month-end processes in a structured, team-oriented environment.

I am an experienced financial administrator and bookkeeper with extensive hands-on experience in creditors, debtors, payroll and reconciliations gained across multiple companies and sectors.

I have consistently managed costings, invoicing, GRN processing, bank and cashbook reconciliations, VAT/UIF returns and month-end procedures using systems such as Pastel, Syspro, Multisoft and various payroll and accounting packages.

My roles have included stock and cost control, financial administration/manageress duties, order control and dispatch coordination, and time-and-attendance reporting, demonstrating strong operational and reporting capabilities.

I am diligent, well-organised and customer-focused, enjoy learning new aspects of a job, and take full responsibility for accurate financial record keeping and timely statutory compliance.
