What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to leverage my financial acumen and management experience to contribute effectively to a dynamic organization.

I've led month-end reporting, vendor payments, AP/AR, bad-debt recovery, and financial analysis at Carfirst, an OLX-Naspers entity. I consolidated financial data, developed forecasts, and provided cost-reduction and process-improvement recommendations for strategic planning.

Currently, I run bi-weekly payroll for a US-based client at Accurix Consulting, maintain accounting records, and file WHT, unemployment tax, and quarterly tax reports. My background also includes financial statements, VAT compliance, sales support, and regional team and vendor management.
