After 16 years across audit and senior finance roles in JSE-listed and privately held businesses — from agriculture and FMCG to quick-service restaurants, gaming, and logistics — I've built a career on one thing: getting the numbers right when it matters most.
I'm a CA(SA) with deep, hands-on experience in full IFRS reporting, IFRS for SME's, AFS compilation for listed and unlisted entities, group consolidations spanning 20+ entities, and budgeting and forecasting cycles. I've led finance teams of up to 23 people, and reported directly to CFOs and audit committees.
At Grand Parade Investments, I joined just two weeks after year-end commenced with no prior knowledge of the business — and still delivered the Group AFS on time within JSE-regulated reporting deadlines, earning direct compliments from EY's technical team on the quality of the disclosures produced. Across GPI, Libstar, and Burger King, I became the go-to person for new IFRS standard interpretation and policy drafting.
I'm now taking that same technical depth into consulting — helping businesses with IFRS advisory, AFS compilation, group consolidations, and financial process design, whether that's a short-term project or an ongoing fractional senior finance role.
If you need a safe pair of hands on your next audit, consolidation, or reporting cycle, I'd welcome a conversation.
