@valeriemukmar
I support audit and data-driven operations through financial analysis, research, automation, and project coordination.
What I'm looking for
I've supported RAiN Chartered Accountants Inc. with ISA-compliant audit working papers, supporting schedules, employee verification, and Masterfile data validation across client engagements. I also automated recurring administrative workflows using Power Automate and Zapier to reduce manual processing time.
At Blibo, I researched, verified, and maintained funding opportunities for a digital platform serving 100+ users, while supporting data entry, content scheduling, and platform operations. My Bachelor of Accounting Science background covers financial accounting, auditing, taxation, management accounting, and finance.
I've also led a seven-person Amnesty International Wits Student Chapter executive team, managed budgets and stakeholder relationships, and launched its first quarterly student publication. I'm motivated by high standards, continuous learning, and opportunities to contribute meaningfully from day one.
