Ifeanyi Okonkwo

I’m a strategic and commercially focused finance professional with over 12 years of experience driving financial performance, profitability improvement, cost optimization, and operational excellence in manufacturing environments. I strengthen financial controls, enhance reporting accuracy, and partner with executive leadership to support sustainable business growth.

I’ve helped deliver measurable outcomes through robust financial planning, budgeting, and operational performance monitoring—supporting revenue growth beyond budget targets and improving operational performance monitoring by 35% in the 2025 financial year. In my current role, I contribute to monthly sales performance exceeding budget by 20% and support production yield initiatives exceeding established targets by 15%.

I’m recognized for strengthening inventory governance and stock valuation controls to improve reporting accuracy and reduce inventory-related risks. I also recovered significant VAT and tax balances of 600 million naira through detailed reconciliations and engagement with regulatory authorities, and I’ve led year-end audit engagements with minimal audit adjustments and strong compliance outcomes.

I bring deep expertise in IFRS reporting, manufacturing costing, treasury management, taxation, audit coordination, and business performance analysis—backed by ERP optimization and data-driven decision-making. I’ve implemented finance process improvements that enhanced ERP data integrity and reliability, and I build executive KPI dashboards using tools like Advanced Microsoft Excel and Power BI to make decisions faster and clearer.
