I have been employed as the Finance Manager for the Western Cape Nature Conservation Board t/a CapeNature, a public entity. My widespread corporate finance experience has been well developed over the past 16 years in a career which has spanned a wide range of companies. My previous role required me to prepare, analyse, verify and distribute critical monthly, quarterly and annual financial reports, coupled with budgeting and forecasting responsibilities. In my current and previous positions I have been involved in preparing the documentation for legislative and statutory returns, including income tax and VAT returns. I maintain the general ledger at CapeNature and am relied upon to send essential financial data to all levels of management and external stakeholders, including advice on auditing processes. I also have experience with the implementation on an ERP System, SAP. Of the skills that I have developed during my employment, the one that stands out for me, is the ability to successfully implement and manage new accounting systems and procedures. I enjoy the challenge of incorporating a new system and working with the wider accounting team to ensure a smooth and productive workflow. I have a proactive management style with highly developed communication skills. I have frequently been required to manage a team under pressure and enable them to meet strict deadlines. I am updating my accounting skills by studying towards a CIMA Professional qualification. I am very proficient with the essential computing programs such as Microsoft Excel, SAP, Pastel. I am a very determined and hardworking individual and I will not only bring to your company, my years of experience, but also my personal drive for results. I look forward to hearing from you.
