CONCLUSION

Over the years I have learnt how to be a leader and take responsibility of all tasks, not only of the tasks I am personally responsible for, but tasks that affect the business. This has meant LONG working hours, receiving training and eventually taking the responsibility of completing and learning such tasks. I have completed my studies as bookkeeper and have certification with the ICBA, as well as completed my Pastel Payroll training with Pastel. These are two of my most valued achievements along with my pride of organisational skills in the work place, where complimented by auditors on my audit files provided.

I also keep ahead by reading leadership and inspirational books.

I am dedicated to the company and strive for excellence in any volume of work, meeting deadlines promptly, even without expectations.

I believe that the time has come to move forward with this knowledge, to allow further personal growth and to assist others along the way. I go about work with wisdom and passion, and believe that with a positive attitude I will help to create positive results in every aspect of the business and life.
