Background

About Simone Meyer

I am a Financial Manager with over 9 years of industry experience, driven by the opportunity to connect and make a difference. Certified as a Chartered Accountant (SA), my professional journey has led me through a myriad of sectors from energy and natural resources to FMCG. Whether in audit or commerce, I'm always drawn to partnerships with aligned values, reflecting an engaged, interactive, and grounded approach to work. My expertise is broad and multifaceted. I've prepared and presented annual financial statements, Board and Exco packs, and have a wealth of experience in liaising with both internal and external auditors. My role also extends to implementing controls, training staff, providing technical support, and managing business acquisitions and closures. I have also written technical accounting papers and resolved tax audits across Africa and Europe. I am a problem-solver at heart, always willing to go the extra mile to help others—be it through my accumulated knowledge, research, or an expansive network of industry contacts. I embrace change and look forward to the challenges and opportunities the future holds. Outside of work, I am passionate about travelling, outdoor hiking and spending time with family and friends. I believe in living a well-rounded life, underpinned by the principle of being caring and considerate to all living beings. This ethos not only enriches my personal life but also informs my professional interactions, reinforcing my commitment to connect and make a meaningful difference in the business landscape.
