1. To whom it may Concern,
My name is Michael Hendrik Smal (please see below for a picture of me), I was Head
prefect of my school and sporting captains for all sporting activities.
I am a passionate fast learner that is more than ambitious and beyond motivated. I am
critical, calculated and detailed. My drive to learn and grow will be more than an asset to
you and your organization. My leadership skills and ability to work in a team are
exceptionally efficient. Lastly, I am a pleasure to be around, a true people’s person and
team player.
I was involved in many positions as you will see in my CV, which has granted me a
multitude of experience to adapt to any position/circumstance with minimal effort.
I chose to include in my CV only my most dominant experiences which contribute to the
position that I am applying for.
I was the protocol Team leader at the Port Elizabeth stadium and responsible for all VIP and
VVIP during the FIFA 2010 world cup and my team and I were the best Protocol division
overall among other stadium during the competition.
I currently have 1 outstanding subject to complete my Bcom Accounting degree at NMMU
(Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University).

2. DHA Financial Services
I was accepted to do my SAIPA articles at this company in January this year 2016. They are an
exceptionally dynamic firm and I have been exposed and trained to manage a host of accounting
packages and systems ranging from:
1) Pastel evolution
2) Pastel Partner online(Sage)
3) Easy file (SARS)
4) Simple pay
5) Microsoft office (Extensive use of excel formulas)
Vat submissions/reconciliations and payroll submissions are done constantly every month by
me for a range of companies. Dealing with additional factors such SDL and ETI. It is safe to
say VAT and payroll are beyond simplistic for me.
Collectively we manage 150+ clients, compiling tax returns and Annual Financial Statements
for most of our clients
I would not like you to contact them yet because I am still working there but if I am
successful then you may contact them.
I would finish my articles at DHA but I am in a situation. The reason I am applying for this Job
is because I need to buy my mother a car and the salary at DHA does not permit me to acquire
car finance.
My mother is a single parent and she put me through varsity all on her own and as a single child
I will sacrifice to get her this car.

My responsibilities involved extensive use of a dynamic formula orientated excel spreadsheets
for payroll and VAT calculations.
