Skills
I'm offering
Senior Bookkeeper - cash book, payroll, financial statements, monthly reconciling. I have 40 years experience having worked and studied my way up to Senior Bookkeeper in large companies. HR and payroll administration was always a particular favourite of mine.
My strength is collecting in outstanding money from debtors, particularly long-standing debtors who may be having a cash flow problem.
Capturing and reconciling daily/weekly/monthly cash books is also a pleasurable job for me. I enjoy working with people and helping them solve their problems for the good of the company. This includes staff problems.
Learning new accounting packages has always been easy and am au fait with Pastel Sage, Sage Liquid, Quickbooks, Legal Suite, Pastel Partner, Turbo Cash as well as in-house packages.
In my spare time, I studied and became an experienced SEO Copywriter, specializing in B2B Sales and Marketing, Web Content and Direct Marketing. Web administrator for clients as well as myself. Creative writer. I have written 12 books as a ghost writer and a full-length phychological thriller under my own name.
I am confident that working for a UK company will be very similar to working for South African companies as we have the same laws and rules in business.
I live in South Africa and married a British citizen (Lord Barry Kerr) and I'm more than willing to relocate.
