Professional Summary: A self-motivated & goal driven logical thinker who always enjoys a challenge - complimented by focus, high quality work & quick learning.

I also have experience with a broad analysis role – this allowed me to learn numerous elements of how a business proposes their product offerings, internal management & upkeep of all elements of product offerings, how customer expectations & needs can be managed through design of a robust Service Level Agreement (SLA) and debt collection + management. My role (as an Accounting Generalist) has given me exposure to the detailed workings of design, management and use of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system as both an end-user as well as a back-end user (this encompasses error handling, data correction, setup, testing & process improvement).
My most recent position (as a Financial Accounting Officer) has enriched me with knowledge + exposure to the comprehensive workings of a finance function (including the interaction with various departments (within a large multi-listed & multi-national organisation)) – this also encompassed further broadening of my knowledge of company workings (+ processes) as well as system usage (+ application).
Additional Information: My prior work experience also equips me with full knowledge and understanding of appropriate & proper creditor/debtor processes + procedures. I also do have intermediate knowledge of the workings of the NCR and the National Credit Act. Following completion & acquisition of my CIMA Professional Qualification/CGMA Designation (CGMA, ACMA), I will complete a (SAICA) Professional Programme & write the SAICA Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) Case Study (to acquire the title of CA (SA) additionally). I will also start and finish multiple financial and IT based qualifications hereafter.
