  • Oct 2015 - Jun 2020

  Dantes Peak (Pty) Ltd is an SME company established in 2015 specializing in meat supplies. After a year full of challenges mainly due to the covid 19 pandemic, I decided to leave the company to focus solely on my Accounting career. I have acquired entrepreneurial and managerial skills which I believe will be of great value to my next employer. Responsibilities - Preparation of financial accounts in accordance with international standards ensuring company accounts are always tax compliant. - Introduced budgetary control measures by renegotiating supplier contracts which resulted in a 20% profit increase. - Implemented an effective stock control and reconciliation which contributed to reducing stock theft by 80%. - Effectively managed receivables, cash, payables & Inventory resulting in an optimum level of cash flow in the company. - Implemented an effective debt collections strategy that involved customer screening, on-time invoicing of clients, and following outstanding payments. This yielded a healthy cash flow and kept bad debts to an absolute minimum. Show less
