What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an accounting role where I can own accurate reconciliations and tax preparation, strengthen compliance with SARS requirements, and continuously improve processes in a structured, high-performance environment.

I’m a detailed, results-driven accountant and tax practitioner with almost 10 years of experience in the financial/accounting sector. I build strong structure, accuracy, and efficiency into every process—capturing invoices and bank statements, preparing accounting records up to trial balance, and ensuring tax and compliance work stays on track.

In my roles as a guest house manager/owner and liquor store owner, I managed day-to-day operations while owning the financial analysis and administration behind them, including cash reconciliations, procurement, stock control, and communication with stakeholders. Earlier work included processing bank statements and payroll entries, performing bank and trust reconciliations, maintaining asset registers and depreciation entries, and supporting SARS communication and forensic-audit related assistance—always with a clear focus on problem-solving, monitoring performance standards, and delivering precise, timely outcomes.
