What I'm looking for

I seek a stable accounting role where I can lead accounts payable and bookkeeping, improve processes, support month-end and audits, and grow my financial accounting responsibilities in a collaborative team.

I am an assistant accountant with extensive accounts payable, bookkeeping and general ledger experience across ERP systems, reconciliations and month-end close. I deliver accurate transaction processing and maintain integrity of financial records.

I have managed small teams, prepared payment runs, tracked cash flow and supported external/internal audits while working with Oracle NetSuite, SAP, Great Plains, Syspro and Pastel. I identify process improvement opportunities and produce reconciliations, journal entries and supporting schedules.

I work methodically, collaborate with stakeholders and prioritise compliance and timely reporting. I seek roles where I can apply my accounts payable and bookkeeping strengths to improve controls and support business growth.
