What I'm looking for

I seek an accounting role where I can strengthen financial controls, handle reconciliations and reporting, support audits, and contribute to budgeting in a collaborative, growth-oriented organization.

I am an experienced accounting professional with a BCom Honours in Accounting and Finance and ongoing professional studies (ACCA and CIMA/FLP student). I bring hands-on experience across nonprofit, hospitality, and corporate environments.

Throughout my career I have worked as an Assistant Accountant, Receivables Accountant and Finance & Administration Officer, delivering month-end close support, bank and supplier reconciliations, cost of sales analysis, VAT and withholding tax computations, and audit assistance.

I have implemented and used multiple accounting systems including Sage One, Odoo, QuickBooks, Vend and Ivend, and I regularly prepare management reports, budgets and project financials for donors and internal stakeholders.

I am self-motivated, detail-oriented and able to work under pressure with minimal supervision; I seek opportunities where I can contribute to strong financial controls and support organizational growth.
