What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance role where I can strengthen financial controls, improve cash flow and reporting accuracy, support budgeting and tax compliance, and partner with operational teams on cost management.

I've managed receivables for St George’s College and Hartmann House Primary School since 2019, overseeing invoicing, debtor reconciliations, collections, monthly reports, and cash-flow forecasts.

I improve collection processes and set KPIs to reduce DSO, while resolving fee collection queries with external stakeholders.

At Pickstone Gold Mine, I produced cost-per-ounce analyses, maintained the general ledger, reconciled production reports to financial records, and supported VAT, mining tax, inventory valuation, and audits. I introduced stronger cost-tracking processes to improve the accuracy of production cost reporting.

I’ve also led budgeting, forecasting, consolidated reporting, internal controls, audit coordination, and cross-border tax compliance for Zimbabwe and Zambia operations.
