Daniel Eardley
Chartered Accountant
Cape Town,WC
Summary
After completing my studies, and my articles at an audit firm I have spent much of much time performing financial management and modelling. I am a constant learner, keeping abreast of the latest financial sector developments, improving my Excel & Google suite skills, and most recently have become a CFA candidate. I am a solutions oriented person, and have a knack of finding creative solutions to complex problems. I am also competitive, but mostly with myself, constantly striving to be better at my job, and faster on my mountain bike.

Skills
Financial Management
Mountain biking
After retiring from being a cricket player (batting all-rounder), I transitioned to mountain biking. The freedom and adventure that my bike brings makes me very happy and fulfilled, not to mention keeping me in shape. My goal is to get really fit and competent, and then enter the Cape Epic race at some point in the future, and I have no doubt that I will get there someday.
