I built scalable accounting workflows using cloud accounting systems and Advanced Excel. I use data analysis to support efficient finance processes.

At MCG Industries, I established finance processes, policies, and controls to support scale and audit readiness. I produced group consolidated management accounts, budgets, and IFRS-compliant financial statements, and facilitated external audits.

At Grindrod South Africa, I worked across 40 cost centres, supervising the Group Procure-to-Pay process and preparing consolidated management accounts. I also performed internal audits and handled intercompany management. I’m seeking a Group Financial Controller role at a global, tech-driven, distributed organization.
