Highlights:• Daily Cash Control and Accounts Receivables so that we operated without a Bank Overdraft.. • Started exporting hours from Microsoft Excel to Invoicing system and thus increasing turnover of heads invoiced and decreasing manual input of hours (More Invoicing in shorter period of time means more money) increased headcount from 12000 wages per week to an average of 21000 per week. • Wrote Excell program that automatically calculates hours and splits between Normal time, time and a half and double time. This then imports into Pastel Payroll through batch processing. • Established various Offshore Projects together with Offshore Consultant at Capital Outsourcing Group. Projects included Total Fina Elf, SA 5, SBM and Mar Profundo Girassol. All the aforementioned wages were paid in Rands and invoiced in US$ except for SBM which was invoiced in British Pounds. Projects included countries such as Nigeria, Mozambique, Russia, Norway, United Kingdom, and all other Oil platforms along the West African Coast and North Sea. • Other Projects included The South African Red Cross in African countries such as Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Lesotho and Madagascar. ( Logistics, Stakeholders, Payments, etc.) • Received award for outstanding work from SBM Monaco.
