MM MMAGOMPEDI KAGISO MAFIRI CA(SA) INTRODUCTION I was recently a financial planner and analyst in the consumer credit reporting industry. I also gained working experience within the accounting, taxation, and the external auditing field during my three years of articles. I have a desire to expand my knowledge and contribute more to the field as much as I enjoy helping people solve problems. I have great communication skills which is crucial to the successful completion of any project. The intersection of my personal and technical skills makes me an asset in the sector.
