With over 20 years of extensive accounting experience in small to medium-sized businesses, I bring a wealth of expertise to ensure your financial success. My career began with three years of articles at an esteemed auditing and accounting firm, where I acquired solid accounting principles right from the start.
In one of my more recent roles, I served as the finance backbone for a group of companies specializing in business rescue, management accounting, and retail industry services and supply.
My experience in a wide range of industries allows me to be flexible and adapt to your niche. I owned an ecommerce company where I honed marketing skills like blog posting, search engine optimization, social media management, and Facebook marketing. I also catered events, sold food products, and supplied the Wellness Warehouse chain in South Africa.
I was a paramedic for four years, providing me with medical knowledge and experience. As a competent staff member, I often took on tasks outside my accounting duties, such as making travel arrangements, preparing health & safety files, applying to supply large blue-chip enterprises, training other staff, and updating company secretarial records.
My passion for a healthy environment has led me to study permaculture and land design. This journey has given me more skills which save money and reduce my impact on the environment.

I take pride in how I conduct myself in this life and my service to others. I thrive in a learning environment and believe that adaptation is key to excellent performance. I am a founding member of an organization, have organized numerous camping trips and parties, including my own wedding. Event organizing is one of the things I enjoy most.
I love tackling challenges and seizing opportunities for continuous learning and skill enhancement.
The success of my endeavors is attested by excellent reference letters from previous positions, with employers ready to vouch for my competence.
