Financial Accountant skilled in local/foreign reporting, SAP, reconciliations, and import/export compliance.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Financial Accountant with hands-on experience managing local and foreign finance processes, from “sea/airfreight cost calculations” to ensuring accurate “records” received from forwarders and suppliers. I bring strong control of source documentation and compliance, reviewing and resolving discrepancies in SAP/Excel to keep reporting reliable.
In my current role, I oversee import/export sea/air and road freight processes, maintain forex exchange forecasts, and manage vendor master data and payment terms in SAP. I prepare and support core outputs including “royalty confirmation,” “VAT return,” “cash flows and cash management (weekly submission),” and contributions to “month-end and year-end closing” and annual financial statements.
I’ve built depth across intercompany and accounting operations through positions like “Foreign Intercompany Accountant” and long-term work as “Foreign Accounts payable /Receivable Clerk.” I administer payment runs in SAP, monitor GRIR and clearing accounts, drive overdue resolution, and support audit requests while ensuring intercompany billings and confirmations are complete and correct.
Earlier experience also strengthened my fundamentals in reconciliations, aged analysis, invoicing, and customs-focused administration—supporting DA190 certificate processes and import/export documentation accuracy. Across every role, I’m known for punctuality, teamwork, “critical thinking,” and turning detailed data into clear financial control for the business.
