In my current role at The Donut Factory Limited, I prepare monthly financial statements, manage account reconciliations, and support external audits. I also supervise and mentor junior accountants, ensuring that our team meets deadlines and maintains high standards of accuracy. My commitment to compliance and effective communication with stakeholders has been key to my success in managing complex accounting processes.
