From my first day of “Principles of Accounting” class in high school, I fell in love with the discipline. My love and passion grew when I realised that sound accounting practices form the foundation for a successful business. I then dedicated myself to developing my expertise and abilities as a Chartered Accountant who adds value to any organisation I work with. Such expertise includes the ability to gain clear insight from the "numbers", which in turn helps me to diagnose and resolve problems within a business, ensuring operational efficiency, and using data to strategise and make informed decisions about how to gain a competitive advantage and achieve financial growth. I am also particularly skilled in financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting and what-if scenarios, business process improvements and internal controls.My love for Accounting matches my passion for Image Consulting. I am a Certified Image Consultant trained in the ABCD of Image - Appearance, Behaviour, Effective Communication and Digital Presence. What piqued my interest in this area? Research has found that your image strongly influences other people's perceptions of you. Many capable persons have been disqualified from jobs and other business opportunities because they do not look the part. After informally assisting friends with their professional image, I decided to pursue formal training and certification in Image Consulting to help other professionals gain the edge they need to advance their careers.I am proud to have transformed my passions into two purpose-driven companies:Pinnacle Outsourced Accounting Solutions, where small and medium-sized businesses can access leading accounting and finance expertise to advance growth.
