Juanita Williams

Crooks beware – there’s a new spreadsheet sheriff in town!

Hailing from the same Cape Town suburb as Jimmy Nevis, Juanita boasts an expansive background in accounting and has risen to become Folio’s bailiff of books.

Juanita is a firm believer in loving what you do and doing what you love and has an adoration for books of all kinds – whether literature or accounting. Though wanting to grow up to be a journalist, Juanita was eventually steered towards finance instead.

In typical Libra fashion, Juanita is all about balance, in life and in ledgers. Her hobbies include reading, writing, and knitting, while dabbling in mixology when she has a free minute. Married to a chocolate maker and kombucha brewer extraordinaire, Marlon; Juanita has two children, Skylar and Mason, aged 12 and 21 respectively (once again bringing balance to the universe).

Languages: Afrikaans and English 

Favourite word/phrase: “If you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life.”

Secret superpower: X-ray vision to discern fact from fiction. 

The thing that I love most about my job is: Meeting new and interesting people from all over the globe every single day.
