What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for professional growth and challenges in financial management.

I am a dedicated Accountant with over 10 years of experience in audit, accounting, and financial reporting. My journey began with a BCom Finance Degree from the University of Johannesburg, followed by a Financial Modelling and Analysis Certificate from the University of Cape Town. I have honed my skills in various roles, including my current position at The Care Co. (Pty) Ltd, where I manage payroll, prepare VAT reconciliations, and oversee junior staff, ensuring accurate financial transactions and compliance.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to delivering high-quality service and accurate reports. My proficiency in software such as Xero, Pastel Evolution, and Power BI has enabled me to streamline processes and improve financial reporting accuracy. I take pride in my ability to lead teams effectively, fostering an environment of growth and development while achieving organizational goals.
