Accountant

As a seasoned accountant with a diverse background in both local and international roles, I bring over two decades of experience in financial management, accounting, and auditing across various industries. My qualifications include a Bachelor of Commerce, an Honours Bachelor of Accounting Science, and an Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting (CIMA), providing me with a strong foundation in accounting principles and management.
Throughout my career, I have held key positions such as Guest Account Purser, Management Accountant, and Financial Manager, most notably spending 11 years working on cruise ships, where I developed a deep understanding of high-pressure environments. I've successfully managed large-scale financial operations, including overseeing cash flows, preparing comprehensive financial reports, and conducting payroll and budgeting functions.
My technical expertise spans several software platforms including advanced MS Excel, Syspro, Pastel, Fidelio, MXP, and Xero. I am skilled at preparing month-end financials, reconciling accounts, managing payables and receivables, and streamlining reporting processes to optimize operational efficiency.
Known for my strong problem-solving abilities, I excel in communicating with both clients and colleagues to resolve issues professionally and efficiently. I thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments and am equally comfortable working independently or collaboratively within a team.
Whether managing a team, leading cost-saving initiatives, or designing standard operating procedures, I approach every challenge with a solution-oriented mindset and a focus on continuous improvement. I am always seeking opportunities to leverage my skills in accounting and financial management to make a meaningful impact in the organizations I work with.More...
