Ronel Minnie

I am a highly experienced and meticulous bookkeeper with a proven track record of managing financial transactions, ensuring precision, and maintaining accurate records. With a career starting in 1980 in finance, I am passionate about streamlining processes, minimizing errors, and delivering results that exceed expectations.

My expertise covers a wide range of bookkeeping functions, including bookkeeping to trial balance, cashbook management, accounts payable and receivable, and reconciliations. I am proficient in various accounting software, including Sage Pastel Partner/Cloud and Sage Pastel Payroll, and possess strong skills in MS Excel. My key strengths also include attention to detail, organization, time management, accurate data entry, adaptability, the ability to work independently, and resilience.

Throughout my career, I have held diverse roles that have honed my financial acumen. As a Financial Assistant from April 2021 to November 2024, I was responsible for capturing and reconciling cashbooks, managing intercompany loan accounts, processing payments, handling customer invoicing and queries, and preparing management reports. I also calculated and submitted VAT201, EMP201, and EMP501.

During my time as a Bookkeeper from March 2020 to March 2021, I performed weekly cashbook updates and reconciliations, managed customer, supplier, and inter-company invoicing, loaded supplier payments, and conducted monthly reconciliations of various accounts and general ledgers and processing journals.

From September 2001 to September 2012, I served as a Bookkeeper/Import Export Coordinator, where I processed and reconciled ZAR and foreign currency cashbooks, managed foreign creditors, updated schedules of foreign currency customer payments, and handled all aspects of import and export documentation and coordination. My experience also includes roles where I managed extensive sets of company accounts, processed payroll, handled SARS e-Filing submissions, and provided various administrative tasks.

I hold a Bookkeeping to Trial Balance Certificate from UNISA, passed with distinction, and has completed training in Sage Pastel Partner. I studied for a Senior Bookkeeper at ICB, requiring three subjects for full certification. My strong work ethic and commitment to accuracy and efficiency make me an asset to any organization.

From December 2024 till present I have been working as a freelance remote bookkeeper, using tools like Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom for remote virtual meetings. I continuously study and learn new apps and software to stay up to date with technology.
