What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can apply SAP/BAS skills, support budget control and reporting, grow technically, and contribute to accurate, timely financial operations.

I am a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting graduate with hands-on experience in public and private sector finance roles, including a Senior State Accountant internship at the Gauteng Department of Education. I focus on accurate financial processing, budget consolidation and expenditure controls.

My background includes work on BAS, SAP and Vulindlela where I captured budgets and journals, processed payments, reallocated expenditure and supported business units on reporting and expenditure matters. I have also performed creditors reconciliations, fixed asset register maintenance and payroll schedule updates in commercial settings.

I bring practical audit and verification experience from contract roles — performing POE comparisons, capturing and verifying learner enrolments, and invigilation/reception duties for examinations. I emphasize attention to detail, timely clearing of misallocations and robust support for budget and cash-flow planning.

I am organized, patient and a strong communicator who values accuracy and responsiveness; I deliver reliable financial administration, assist teams with reconciliations and projections, and support service providers' payment processes to ensure operational continuity.
