PROFILE
My journey in finance began at a very young age. From the age of six, I helped my grandmother manage her small business, where she sold food and beverages in our village, and she owned rental properties(flats). My responsibilities included conducting daily stock counts, reconciling the debtors' list each week, and collecting rent from tenants. Although I was young, those experiences taught me the importance of accuracy, accountability, and financial management, and that's where my passion for finance truly began.
Fast forward to today, I hold a BCom Honours degree and have over six years of professional experience in finance, bookkeeping, accounts administration, reconciliations, and financial reporting, working with both South African and international companies. Throughout my career, I've built a reputation for being detail-oriented, reliable, and committed to delivering accurate financial information that supports business decisions.
Finance is more than just a career to me; it's something I genuinely enjoy. I'm passionate about helping businesses stay financially organized, solving problems, and continuously improving processes. I bring dedication, strong technical skills, and a genuine enthusiasm for finance into every role I take on, and I would be excited to contribute that same commitment to your team.
