Chartered Accountant (SA) with strong financial reporting and multi-industry exposure, transitioning into commercial finance. Experienced in analysing financial performance, improving controls, and partnering with management to support strategic decision-making. Strong background in IFRS, tax, budgeting and process optimization.

I’m a Chartered Accountant with over five years of experience specializing in audit, taxation, and IFRS-compliant reporting across industries like manufacturing and insurance. Currently, as an Assistant Audit Manager at Makosi, I lead teams and manage complex portfolios for billion-rand entities. I’m particularly proud of my ability to drive efficiency—I’ve previously reduced audit turnaround times by 15% without sacrificing accuracy. I’m now looking to leverage my technical expertise and leadership experience to help a forward-thinking firm optimize its financial operations and compliance.

I am a Chartered Accountant (SA) with a strong academic foundation, having earned my professional designation from SAICA. My educational background includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Accounting Sciences (CTA Level 2) from UNISA and a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting from the University of KwaZulu-Natal. I successfully completed the professional qualifying track by passing the Initial Test of Competence (ITC) and the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC). My commitment to excellence began early in my academic career, as evidenced by my matriculation with seven A symbols.
