## About

```text
At PAPA’S FRESHLY BAKED, I prepare monthly departmental P&Ls and budget-to-actual variance reports across operating units, analyzing revenue trends and cost drivers to assess profitability.

I also reconcile stock ledgers, monitor COGS, and investigate inventory variances across perishables, retail supplies, and car wash consumables. My work includes supplier reconciliations, expenditure monitoring, and maintaining the asset register.

At UNION HARDWARE, I managed supplier processing in Sage Pastel and reconciled supplier accounts. I also monitored customer credit terms, issued monthly statements, and investigated debtor-to-General-Ledger discrepancies.

I hold a BSc Honours in Accountancy from CHINHOYI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY and am studying to complete my remaining ACCA Strategic Professional papers. My accounting work includes ZIMRA compliance, VAT return preparation, internal controls, and audit-ready financial records.
