TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to apply for an accounting/management position in your

organization.

A lifetime career in financial accounting enables me to contribute greatly

to any organization I was associated with. In a post apartheid South Africa

I no longer form part of the mainstream economy though and need to look

elsewhere to further my career.

As a team player I obtained my first 20 years practical experience at

various Power Stations in South Africa. Dedication, loyalty and hard work

took me through the ranks and eventually gave me the opportunity as

Financial Accounting Manager to successfully lead my teams in meeting

deadlines and produce management information in accordance with general

accepted accounting practice.

I studied part-time at the University of South Africa in the field of a

Bachelor of Commerce degree and obtained a Bachelor of Business

Administration in Accounting & Finance degree from KentsBridge University,

Florida USA.

I was expected to take a severance package in a post-apartheid South Africa

and thereafter took charge of the financial, administrative and payroll

sections at various privately owned companies.

Please contact me at the above mobile number or via my e-mail address if

any further discussion is required and thank you for your time.

Yours faithfully,

Gert Naud

Career statement

I am goal orientated, loyal and focused on detail and strive towards

excellence at all times. To motivate my team members and maintain a

pleasant and productive working environment is to be myself and simply

reflects my personality and ensures honesty and mutual respect in the

workplace.

My career covers the total spectrum of a Financial Department and as an

introduction to this environment in 1977 I was appointed as a Petty

Cashier. Hard work and dedication rewarded me as Head of Finance in 1986

and recognized me as an Accountant.

In 1988 I was promoted to Management level as Procurement Manager and in

1992 as Financial Accounting Manager, overseeing the accounting function of

five mothballed Power Stations and producing financial statements bi-

annually.

I took a separation package in March of 1997.

Education

At school level I obtained a Grade 12 School certificate and embarked on a

Bachelor of Commerce degree as my field of study and at a time when I was

already appointed as Manager in 1989. Qualifications obtained in a post-

apartheid South Africa were frowned upon, which led me to further my

studies at KentsBridge University in the USA. A Bachelor of Business

Administration in Accounting & Finance degree was awarded to me in 2010.

Overview - Practical experience

I discovered my interest in a financial environment while I was employed by

the Government in 1973 as an Audit Clerk. Auditing against specific

guidelines and reconciliations formed part of the auditing process and

focused on the different governmental institutions like hospitals and

municipalities. I got married during September of 1974 and needed to settle

down to a nine to five job instead of being part of the travelling team.

I got the opportunity in 1977 to start at one of Eskom's (Electricity

Supply Commission) Power Stations. I "grew up" in this financial

environment which lasted for 20-years, with profit maximization always as

the driving force.

After my Eskom (Electricity Supply Commission) career, which ended in March

1997, I applied my experience to various privately owned companies as

either an Accountant or as Financial Manager or Administration Manager.
