Finance and Administration Professional

I prepared structured monthly reports, including variance analysis, to improve decision-making and help senior management identify cost-saving opportunities.

I managed CAPEX and OPEX budgets, monitored expenditure closely, and reduced overspend variance through rigorous control measures. I also analyzed financial reports such as P&L and KPIs to identify trends and development areas.

In addition, I strengthened client relationships by resolving complex inquiries, maintained accurate asset registers and depreciation schedules, optimized inventory controls, and coordinated fleet compliance and repairs. I also monitored cash flow, managed working capital, and supported team development through performance reviews and coaching.

I managed the full administration function for a high-volume automotive dealership and supported a team of more than 10 staff across sales, service, and finance.

I prepared and processed monthly journals, supported month-end closure, and contributed to reliable financial reporting. I also improved debtor collections through structured follow-up procedures, reducing outstanding debtors and shortening the collection period.

I maintained a productive team culture, supported staff communication and safety awareness, and processed tax invoices accurately and on time in line with VAT requirements and company procedures.

I reconciled supplier accounts accurately and resolved discrepancies promptly while maintaining strong supplier relationships.

I managed payment loading on bank authorization systems with zero payment errors and strict adherence to internal controls. I also reconciled and allocated debtor accounts, maintained credit checks for new clients, processed credit notes, and handled petty cash administration and daily banking.

I supervised data maintenance activities in line with client, contractual, and regulatory requirements.

I developed improved data management processes using statistical trends and performed advanced data analysis to generate reports for management. I also served as Personal Assistant to the Executive Business Development Manager, supporting strategic initiatives and executive operations.

Earlier in this role, I worked as Administrator for Conflicts and Changes and as a Collections Clerk, where I coordinated credit changes, resolved billing issues, managed overdue payments, and improved debt recovery through structured client follow-up and account reconciliation.
