What I'm looking for

I seek a client-focused accounting role where I can apply financial analysis, tax compliance and reporting skills, contribute to audit readiness, and grow in data-driven financial planning within a collaborative team.

I am a highly analytical, deadline-driven business accountant with experience delivering accurate financial statements, tax compliance and management reporting for private clients and firms.

Over the past several years I worked as a Business Accountant at Libuyilizwe Investments (Pty) Ltd where I led financial analysis and planning, prepared annual financial statements, performed QuickBooks Online audits, reconciliations, budgeting and forecasting, and liaised with Revenue Services auditors.

My background also includes client-facing financial advisory roles at Sanlam and Old Mutual, and earlier experience as a junior accountant handling BBBEE certificates, payroll, tax clearances and SARS e-filing. I consistently apply attention to detail, problem solving and strong client relationship skills.

I am proficient with tools and technologies including QuickBooks Online, Excel, SQL, Power BI, Monday.com and Google Drive, and I’m pursuing further training in data analytics to strengthen reporting and insight capabilities.
