Auditing And Management Accountant Trainee
Pretria
Summary
I'm on a dynamic journey to become a Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA), with my academic foundation in Management Accounting, which I completed with honors in 2021. Currently, I'm advancing through the strategic level of my CIMA qualification, continuously expanding my financial expertise. I am also enrolled in SAICA's trainee program which I will finish at the end of 2023.
Beyond numbers and financial analysis, I'm equally passionate about sports and cherishing moments of socialising with both friends and family. I firmly believe in maintaining a well-balanced lifestyle that encompasses nurturing the body, mind, and soul, always striving for self-improvement in every facet of life.
Eager to learn and driven to explore the boundless opportunities in the world of finance, I find my true calling in working with people and solving problems. My enthusiasm lies in numbers, forecasting trends, and evaluating innovative business ideas. Witnessing people excel and achieve their goals fuels my passion, and I'm committed to delivering exceptional service.
