What I'm looking for

I seek finance roles in FMCG/manufacturing where I can drive control, improve processes, and apply SAP expertise to strengthen reporting and inventory accuracy.

I am a results-driven General Accountant with 5+ years' hands-on experience in high-volume beverage manufacturing, proficient in SAP (S/4 HANA) and full-cycle accounting. I have a strong record of improving accuracy and efficiency across cashbooks, inventory, AR/AP, and treasury functions, including maintaining a 99% bank reconciliation accuracy and reducing finished product handling costs to ±1%.

I implemented process improvements such as an Excel-based payment tracker that boosted invoice processing efficiency by 90%, enforced FEFO inventory controls, and managed GRN suspense accounts to a three-day maximum. I hold an MSc in Banking and Finance and a BCom Honours in Accounting, and I pursue continuous professional development in critical thinking, time management, and learning mindset.
