I execute risk-focused audits, strengthen financial controls, and deliver IFRS-compliant reporting and assurance.

I'm currently executing audit sections at BDO South Africa, completing risk-focused procedures, analytical reviews, and engagement deliverables while escalating significant matters to Audit Managers and Partners.

Previously at KPMG South Africa, I prepared and reviewed journals, trial balances, income statements, reconciliations, cash-flow summaries, and IFRS-compliant financial reporting for clients across industries.

I've improved audit documentation workflows through standardised templates and digital review protocols, while recommending process improvements across accounting workflows, billing cycles, and financial controls.

As an AGA(SA) with a BCom in Accounting, I bring advanced Excel, Power BI, data analysis, professional scepticism, and practical experience coordinating teams and working closely with client finance personnel.
