Summary

I hold a Baccalaureus Technologiae in Management from UNISA, as well as a National Diploma in Commercial Practice from Technikon Northern Transvaal, now known as Tshwane University of Technology. I am currently employed as Manager: Financial Accounting at the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), Gauteng Regional Office. In this role, I oversee three critical units: Accounts Payable, Debt and Revenue Management, and Payroll.
Previously, I served as a Divisional Financial Controller at BMW SA (Pty) Ltd. My responsibilities extended to working with various BMW international subsidiaries — including BMW Germany, Spartanburg (USA), and Oxford (UK) — focusing on intercompany transactions. This experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of international financial practices and intercompany reconciliation processes.
Throughout my career, I have developed strong proficiency in financial systems and accounting practices. I understand the importance of ensuring compliance, accuracy, and efficiency, particularly in high-performance environments. I am also highly attuned to balancing stakeholders’ needs, ensuring both internal clients and external suppliers are effectively supported.
My career objective is to grow within the areas of financial management administration, and auditing, in a role that allows me to exercise strategic oversight while contributing meaningfully to organisational performance.
I am confident that my combination of technical expertise, leadership experience, and dedication to public service would be an asset to your department. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your team.
