@nicolevanzyl
Dedicated admin finance professional with strong client liaison skills.
What I'm looking for
With over a decade of experience in administrative and finance roles, I have honed my skills in client liaison, debt collection, and general administration. My journey began as a Front Line Lady at La La Nathi Country Guest House, where I developed a passion for customer service and effective communication. Over the years, I have taken on various positions, including Receptionist, Legal Secretary, and Admin Manager, each role contributing to my comprehensive understanding of office operations and financial management.
In my most recent position at Highway Group / Africa Fuel Distributors, I excelled in managing debtor duties, creditor reconciliations, and preparing detailed Excel spreadsheets. My proficiency in Quickbooks and Sage has enabled me to streamline processes and enhance efficiency. I pride myself on being a friendly and hardworking individual who thrives under pressure and is always willing to go the extra mile for my team and clients.
