Salomé van den Heever
Finance Manager
Pretoria
Summary
As a Chartered Accountant with 10 years post-article experience I learnt the tools of the auditing trade through both my traineeship and employment at an Audit firm thereafter. I entered the NGO sphere in 2016 where I am currently still serving as Grants Financial Manager at NACOSA (Cape Town). I am currently managing grants totalling 85 million USD / ZAR 1.5b. I earn my keep by getting things done. I am built for responsibility and am motivated by the fact that what I do contributes to a bigger, more positive picture. I live an intentional and purpose-filled life, it’s non-negotiable that my vocational life would be one that contributes to society and the advancement thereof. I value people and can therefore easily work in and lead teams. I am a fast learner with an ability to adapt and solve problems. I believe in adding value and have a track record of doing so for every organisation that I have represented. I give my best daily and have a strong commitment to perform. I want to make a difference and be part of a team who intentionally strives for excellence. I believe that I can be excellent and consistently deliver, manage, lead and learn when needed.
