What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my expertise in tax compliance and advisory, within a dynamic organization that values strategic tax management and offers opportunities for professional growth.

As a seasoned tax professional, I bring extensive experience in corporate tax, international tax, transfer pricing, and indirect taxes. Holding a Master of Commerce in Taxation and being a Chartered Tax Advisor (CTA-SA), I have successfully led tax functions in major companies such as Cell C, MTN, and Bidvest Bank. My focus is on aligning tax strategy with business operations, ensuring compliance, and mitigating risks.

In my recent role as a Tax Specialist at Yellow Card Inc, I have been responsible for corporate and international tax compliance and advisory, as well as transfer pricing implementation. My previous experience includes leading tax operations at Outsourced Finance, where I managed corporate tax, VAT, and carbon tax returns. I have a proven track record of securing significant tax savings and improving tax automation processes, demonstrating my commitment to delivering value through effective tax management.
