Finance Clerk with audit simulation experience analyzing transactions for accuracy and identifying risks.

I completed EY Audit and Fidelity Investments job simulations through Forage, where I analyzed financial transactions for accuracy and identified risks in support of internal control and verification tasks.

My Bachelor of commerce in accounting degree from University of Johannesburg gave me a foundation in accounting, tax, economics, commercial law, business management, and financial management.

Through academic training and job simulations, I gained experience with invoice checking, transaction capturing, bookkeeping support, and budget variance analysis. I’m familiar with Xero, QuickBooks, and Microsoft Office.

As a Sales Assistant at Food Enterprise, I sold food to customers. I also promoted beverage brands at JR PROMOTIONS, where my work led to increased purchases of the products promoted.
