What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a senior audit or accounting role where I can lead audit teams, ensure technical financial reporting excellence, mentor trainees, and contribute to strong client service within a growth-oriented firm.

I am a Chartered Accountant (SA) with hands-on experience in auditing, accounting, tax compliance, and financial reporting across a wide variety of clients including SMEs, trusts, NPOs, professional service firms, and property entities.

As an Audit Manager I manage and mentor a team of six trainee accountants, oversee audits, reviews and compilations under IFRS for SMEs, ensure deliverables meet high quality standards and report progress and issues directly to the director.

I am proficient with Caseware Working Papers, Pastel, Sage, Xero, Greatsoft and Excel, currently completing the IRBA Audit Development Programme and anticipate registration as a Registered Auditor in 2025.
