About
I joined PwC as an Associate in January 2023 and successfully completed my articles in the Banking and Capital Markets division within Assurance. My client portfolio included leading financial institutions such as Absa, RMB, and Sasfin Bank, with a primary focus on Corporate and Investment Banking as well as Head Office functions. During my articles, I gained exposure to specialised corporate banking products, including off-balance sheet guarantees, letters of credit, front-office deal initiation and management, and cash management solutions.
I have also contributed to the development of a complex wear-and-tear calculation model for an asset finance client and acquired valuable experience in managing intricate intercompany transactions and structures. Post qualifying as a CA(SA), I transitioned to the Capital Advisory and Restructuring Services division within PwC, where I am broadening my expertise in corporate finance, debt restructuring, and capital advisory.
