What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance operations role where I can lead high-volume accounts payable, improve reconciliations and reporting accuracy, and collaborate across teams in fast-paced remote/hybrid environments—while maintaining strong compliance and process discipline.

I’m a results-driven Finance Operations Specialist with 9+ years of experience in accounts payable, reconciliations, financial reporting, and finance systems administration across retail and international business environments. I’m known for supporting global clients with multi-currency transactions and strengthening compliance, reporting accuracy, and cross-functional collaboration.

In my current role as Accounts Payable Manager at The Advisory Firm, I manage high-volume accounts payable across six international client accounts. I process, code, and verify invoices while ensuring compliance with financial regulations and company policies, and I handle multi-currency supplier reconciliations and month-end reporting.

Previously, as a Senior Finance Clerk at Goal Group Holdings, I managed accounts payable and receivable for a distribution centre with over 100 suppliers. I reconciled over 150 accounts monthly, generated management reports, and supported daily cash/EFT/card reconciliations across 9 retail branches, while training and mentoring new employees on finance systems and procedures.

A standout moment in my career was playing a key role in a financial fraud investigation involving more than R12 million—by identifying discrepancies, tracing transactions, and gathering supporting evidence. I’m continuing to focus on process improvement, accurate reconciliations, and reliable finance operations in fast-paced remote and hybrid environments.
