I am a Chartered Accountant by qualification, but consider myself to be more of a business hand-holder, than a financial report writer.I completed my Articles at PwC, after which I entered commerce as a Financial Manager. Working first for a franchised company, and then a franchising business. This enabled me to gain expert knowledge on the unique challenges facing small- to medium-sized enterprises.As a creative, I obtained a qualification in interior design in 2015, and with both finance and interior qualifications, I decided to start my own company focusing on my two passions - Finance in an SME environment l, as well as interior design and product development.With the rapid expansions of both career avenues, I unfortunately had to make a decision to focus on one career path, and chose finance as it offered more stability and faster growth prospects.I currently work as an independent Chartered Accountant, outsourcing my services to SMEs in the following fields: - Beauty - Interior Design - Event Hosting - Motor Vehicle Service and Repair - Shipping and Logistics - Medical - Construction - Bio-Tech - Investment BankingCareer highlights include: - PwC Experience Award, client nominated, and awarded for exceptional service in 2009 - Inscape Interior Design Awards program top student in 2015 - Launching my own Interior Design company in 2016 - Launching my own Finance Consulting company in 2016 - Launching and marketing my own range of fine porcelain tableware at Design Joburg in 2019 - Top 35 under 35 finalist for the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) in 2018 - Featured in the top 40 overall from the 35 under 35 competition across all years in 2020
