Summer Roberts
@summerroberts
Finance and tax professional driving compliance, analysis, and strategic financial management.
What I'm looking for
I am a motivated finance and tax professional with hands-on experience in compliance auditing, financial management, and tax preparation across public and private sectors. I leverage detailed financial analysis to support accurate reporting and regulatory adherence.
At SARS I conducted limited scope audits and verifications, applied tax legislation to identify risks, and prepared reports for stakeholders including submissions to the Interest and Penalty Committee. I focus on governance, process improvement, and clear stakeholder communication.
As Finance Manager at Gender Dynamix I led financial strategy, donor-account oversight, budgeting, and audit-readiness, driving transparency and sustainable resource allocation. Prior roles as Fixed Asset Accountant and Tax Associate strengthened my skills in asset control, CAPEX analysis, and client-focused tax planning.
I bring proficiency with financial systems and tools, a track record of improving controls and reporting, and a collaborative approach to working with senior teams and auditors. I am seeking roles where I can apply data-driven financial analysis and visualization to support strategic decision-making and organizational growth.
