What I'm looking for

I am seeking a finance role where I can apply Oracle and reconciliation expertise, contribute to strong internal controls, support audit-readiness, and grow within a collaborative, service-oriented academic or research institution.

I am a finance and administrative professional with over seven years' experience working in complex higher-education and research environments, currently supporting financial operations at the University of the Witwatersrand.

I have strong working knowledge of Oracle Financial Management System and institutional financial policies, and I routinely manage general ledger activity, supplier payments, advances control, and monthly reconciliations.

My background includes procurement, asset control, debtor management, and producing audit-ready documentation, with a consistent focus on accuracy, internal controls and variance analysis.

I bring advanced Microsoft Excel skills, commitment to service excellence, and a track record of improving financial integrity and compliance across departments and projects.
