I have always enjoyed working in the accountancy industry especially as financial manager in manufacturing and FMCG sectors. I have also worked in other sectors Even as there are day to day challenges I enjoy the constant need to handle multiple things at a time and to meet deadlines. I have a great concern for detail, accuracy and when I commit to perform certain tasks I always deliver within the set time “no matter what”. With a B Com (Accountancy), MDP and registered with SAICA as AAT, CMA and over 25 years experience in different sectors I bring a range of strengths not just in finance but also operations and marketing. I get involved across functions as I don’t believe finance departments should function as a silo. Finance should work together with all departments and learn as much as you can so that as one team we can make a difference.
