Approach to work
I love working with clients and building relationships. I like to ensure I am approachable and have a positive outlook which helps to develop very open and easy-going relationships. I take a genuine interest in each client I work with.
I tackle problems or queries, by being proactive and breaking the issue down. Being positive is important and I think laughter and humour are critical.
About
I completed a three-year undergraduate degree, a postgraduate diploma, the ITC and APC board exams. As a result, I’m eligible to register as a Chartered Accountant in South Africa. Having started my career as a school leaver, I achieved my chartered accountancy qualification at 25, even after missing a year of education, an achievement of which I am incredibly proud.
I have experience dealing with large group audits. A recent accomplishment was overcoming a significant delay to a large group of audits. The delay caused other issues which we had to problem solve. However, as a team, we managed to complete all the audits with some strategic planning and a great team effort. These are the sorts of projects I love.
I enjoy sports and the outdoors in general.
