What I'm looking for

I’m available from February 2027 and open to international opportunities requiring employer-supported work authorisation.

At BDO South Africa, I perform and review audit procedures for JSE-listed, PCAOB-listed and private companies. I’ve worked across gold revenue, inventory and SOX controls, and supervised a 12-member DRDGOLD audit team.

For a mining engagement, I strengthened rehabilitation-provision testing by independently remeasuring disturbed areas using Google Maps and expert KMZ imagery, then cross-checking against mine-site observations. I also use advanced Excel and data analytics to investigate unusual transactions and trends.

I passed the SAICA ITC and APC board examinations, with my CA(SA) qualification expected in January 2027. Before accounting, I coordinated more than 100 conferences and workshops at G & Y Training Institute and helped transition events to online and hybrid formats during COVID-19.
