What I'm looking for

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

I am a highly experienced accountant with a strong background in financial accounting, budgeting, risk management, and compliance. My career spans over two decades, during which I have worked extensively with medium-sized mining companies and large non-governmental organizations. Currently, I serve as a Practicing Accountant at Chauke & Co Business Accountants, where I oversee financial accounting and business advisory services for a diverse clientele.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to lead teams and manage complex financial operations. My role as a Senior Accountant at MP Mining involved preparing financial statements in adherence to GAAP/IFRS standards and implementing cost-reduction strategies that significantly impacted the company's bottom line. I am also pursuing further qualifications, including ACCA and Financial Modeling & Valuation Analyst Certification, to enhance my expertise and provide even greater value to my clients.
