What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an accounting-focused role where I can manage financial administration, bookkeeping support, and client communication, while growing my payroll and operations skills in a structured, organized workplace.

I work in accounting and office administration, supporting daily operations with strong client interaction and first-line liaison. I’ve managed financial administration, invoicing-related work like “Billing of clients,” and maintained organized systems for documentation, project tracking, and scheduling.

In my current accounting role at Maree Incorporated/Truvault, I handle “capturing of client data on software,” bookkeeping tasks, and help with payroll processing and financial documentation. I also prepare presentations, minute meetings, welcome clients, and coordinate internal operations while managing cleaning staff and office supplies.

Across previous roles, I built a reliable operational foundation through cash and administrative work (Shoprite), managerial duties and bank reconciliation (RSL Agri), and payroll support tasks like “Payroll,” “Payslips,” and compiling contracts (Chess Consultancy). I bring digital outreach strengths too, designing and managing social media content to promote services and build brand visibility.
