About Me

Turning numbers into strategy

Registered CA(SA) South African Institute of Chartered Accountants

I am a Chartered Accountant registered with SAICA, bringing a unique blend of Big 4 rigour and innovative thinking to every financial challenge. My career at PwC Johannesburg and Element 6 has sharpened my ability to bridge technical accounting with strategic business insight.

I specialise in IFRS-compliant financial reporting, external audit management, and building automation solutions using Alteryx and Power BI that transform how organisations understand their numbers. I believe the best financial work doesn't just comply — it illuminates.

A Golden Key International Honor Society member and top academic achiever from Wits, I carry that same drive for excellence into every engagement — from complex consolidations to executive dashboards that actually get used.
