I manage full-cycle bookkeeping, reconciliations, payroll, VAT, and cash flow through Trial Balance.
What I'm looking for
I've managed full-cycle bookkeeping through Trial Balance for GR8 Investments, Maximize Logistics, United Metals, and logistics ventures across property, rentals, leisure, manufacturing, and freight.
I handle accounts payable and receivable, invoicing, supplier payments, bank and balance-sheet reconciliations, payroll, VAT, cash-flow monitoring, month-end support, and audit preparation. At Afrikan Logistics, I helped build the road-freight function from start-up to more than R1 million in monthly turnover.
I'm known for investigating discrepancies, improving allocations, and keeping accurate, traceable records ready for reliable reporting. I work independently in remote, multi-business environments and can support South African, UK, and U.S. business hours.
