Hugh Murray

Hermanus

Summary

My name is Hugh Murray, and I was born in Kimberley, located in the Northern Cape province. I completed my schooling at Hoërskool Diamantveld before relocating with my family to the beautiful town of Hermanus in the Western Cape.

I pursued my tertiary education at the University of the Free State, where I completed a BCom degree in Financial Accounting. During my undergraduate studies, I discovered a strong interest in Management Accounting, which led me to further my academic journey by enrolling in the BCom Honours programme in Management Accounting at Stellenbosch University.

I consider myself a trustworthy, dedicated, and hardworking individual in whom a company can invest with confidence. While I have a deep passion for accounting as a whole, I have found Management Accounting to be my particular area of strength and interest.

I am a very social person and enjoy engaging with others, both professionally and socially. I look forward to applying my knowledge, enthusiasm, and work ethic in a dynamic and challenging environment.
