What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that combines finance and data science, offering opportunities for growth and innovation.

I am a driven Financial Manager with a strong focus on results and a solid educational background in Accounting Science. I hold an Honours degree and have successfully passed the SAICA ITC 1 board, with plans to write my final SAICA board in November 2025. My experience includes managing finance teams, conducting specialized reviews, and developing automated tools to enhance efficiency in financial operations.

Currently, I work at Rham Equipment (Pty) Ltd, where I report directly to the Financial Director and Managing Director. My role involves overseeing daily operations, preparing financial statements, and ensuring compliance with tax regulations. I am also pursuing a Data Science Bootcamp to further enhance my analytical skills, aiming for a hybrid role in the financial or data science industry.
