Cover Letter I am eager to enter the fields of financial management, cost accounting or management accounting. For the past three years I have worked as an audit clerk at RSM Betty & Dickson (Tshwane) where I gained experience in audit, accounting, tax and company law while working on small to large (listed) clients. After I completed my SAICA articles I went on to second at McGladrey Chicago where I worked in the financial services group. I have good technical knowhow, excellent excel skills and enjoy a challenge. I am a problem solver at heart and confident that I’ll be able to add value in any position I am placed in. The most reliable way to reach me is via email ([email protected]) or at 083 483 2998. I hope to hear your response soon.
