What I'm looking for

I am seeking remote or on-site accounting roles that allow me to apply my expertise in financial analysis and compliance while contributing to a dynamic team.

I am a results-driven accounting professional with a strong foundation in financial reporting, tax compliance, and auditing. Having completed my BCompt in Financial Accounting in 2022, I possess valuable experience from my SAICA articles and AGA (SA) membership. My expertise lies in managing financial statements, preparing tax returns, and conducting audits, ensuring compliance with both IFRS and Australian GAAP.

Currently, I work as an Intermediate Accountant at Jewell Moore Chartered Accountants, where I manage end-to-end bookkeeping and prepare various tax returns under Australian regulations. My previous role as an SAICA Article Clerk provided me with extensive experience in processing cashbooks, preparing financial statements, and conducting audit testing. I am proficient in various accounting software, including QuickBooks, Xero, and MYOB, which enhances my ability to deliver accurate financial analysis and compliance.
