My key responsibilities in this role included reconciling daily P&L trading accounts, overseeing expense processes, reconciling local and international financial systems, preparing monthly, quarterly and year-end reports, calculating income tax and VAT as well as preparing annual financial statements. My key successes in this role included:● Streamlining the process to complete financial statements by building an excel model linking income statements and balance sheet account to trial balance on a monthly basis, enabling Citibank to meet JSE submission deadlines for 2009 and 2010. ● Providing accurate weekly forecasts of revenue and actual expenses compared to budget to senior management by identifying discrepancies and tracking daily trade P&L. ● Identifying 37 obsolete general leger balance sheet accounts and presenting to senior management for sign-off to close the accounts, completing the exercise within 2 months. ● Liaising with Ernst & Young on a monthly basis to review VAT calculations resulting in calculations being signed off and no penalties from SARS. ☛ To discover more about my impact in this role, please connect with me or contact me directly to request a detailed résumé.
