Personal Profile
A self and highly motivated, analytically minded Chartered Accountant with experience
across a number of different industries. My extensive experience during my audit career has
allowed me to easily transition into the commercial world and ensure the smooth running of
the financial functions I operate in. I am diligent and results driven and aim to operate
effectively and efficiently in every environment. Having trained in general audit, it gave me
the opportunity to understand and gain knowledge on a number of different industries and I
developed the skills set to be able to run the finance function of businesses irrespective of
the industry it operates in.
Finance has always been my passion and I believe it is important to enjoy what you do and
do what you enjoy.
