Helping you reach your business goals !

I significantly improved the morale and performance of my team by resolving outstanding issues and introducing efficient working practices (eg application of data protection to customer records). This change was brought about by working closely with internal departments such as Accounts, Sales and Marketing and Personnel as well as distributors, bookshops, customers and my team. This enabled the team to process orders and resolve queries in a timely and efficient manner which has enabled me to take on further tasks and responsibilities.

In order to complete the refurbishment of a hotel and listed building (including the setting up of reception rooms, a restaurant, a coffee bar and a function room), I managed the scheduling of project activities and worked to action these efficiently, to a high standard meeting management and legislative requirements within a predetermined budget. By careful selection and supervision of external contractors and effective communication with suppliers, the local Historical Buildings Officer, advisers and the project team I sourced the materials and skills required to produce a very pleasing end result. Previously, I had worked hands on in the refurbishment and day to day maintenance of the ministry’s buildings.

I developed a good rapport with both staff and church members as well as suppliers. I managed the improvement of a more tailored reporting system and succeeded in streamlining processes by liaising with the bank in order to improve our use of its services. As part of my various administrative duties I ensured accurate and timely gift aid applications which contributed significantly to the cash flow of the organisation.

By effective communication with management and colleagues I worked efficiently to deliver the various accounting reports, relevant information and reconciliations to management by utilising my database skills and my understanding of accounting procedures. Through this increased efficiency I was able to take up additional work in the form of supplier account reconciliations which required effective communication with supplier accounting departments.

I completed a five year training contract including essential experience in a variety of enterprises including Auditing, Accounting, Financial Management, Secretarial Services, Business Information Systems and Taxation and Estates as set out by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants and the Public Accountants and Auditors Board.
