At McDonald’s South Africa, I manage month-end and mid-month store transfer tickets and journal postings, and reconcile sales data with Operations and IT. I prepare variance analysis, monthly P&L reports, and executive commentary.

I also oversee budgeting for 100+ stores and support quarterly audits and IFRS compliance. Across financial accounting roles in retail, entertainment, energy, and banking, I’ve worked on reporting, forecasting, reconciliations, and regulatory compliance.
