I have worked in the accounting/financial field for more than 18 years and have worked my way up from a despatch clerk to my current role. The enjoyment of this environment motivated me to study towards my BCOM in Financial Management and I am successfully tracking towards graduating at the end of 2017. My skills and competencies include being self-manageable & motivated, strong reconciling skills & figure oriented, attention to detail & deadline driven, good written and verbal communication skills, budgeting and reporting skills.
Unfortunately management has decided to close the Durban finance department and I have been retrenched effective 30 September 2016. I am currently seeking positions in the finance/account environment to grow my career.
