What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply bookkeeping, tax compliance and payroll expertise, support audits, and grow within a collaborative, client-focused finance team.

I am a detail-oriented finance and accounting professional with comprehensive experience in bookkeeping, tax compliance, payroll, and financial advisory services across diverse industries. I have a proven track record managing VAT201, EMP201/501 submissions, income tax returns, financial statement preparation, general ledger reconciliations, and supporting audit processes.

I excel at maintaining compliance with SARS regulations, liaising with tax attorneys, auditors and clients, and handling administrative and asset register duties. I am proficient in Xero, Sage One, Pastel, Meshed360 and a range of accounting tools, and I bring proactive communication, service excellence and strong problem-solving to client-facing and back-office roles.
