## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm targeting a Management Accountant role where I can combine reporting discipline, commercial analysis, costing, process improvement and practical systems experience.

## About

```text
At Simbisa Brands Limited, I own the Corporate Division general ledger, excluding Pastino, and prepare monthly management accounts and flash reports. I also reconstructed the Marketing Fund position, identifying approximately US$300K of understated spend and liabilities.

At Oven Art, I owned the general ledger and month-end close in an artisan-bakery manufacturing environment. I built an Excel model to analyze product profitability and led the finance and inventory workstream for the migration from QuickBooks and SOS Inventory to Predictiv.

My earlier work at Matanuska included cash-allocation plans and bank, POS and accounts-payable reconciliations. I hold the ACCA Diploma in Accounting and Business (RQF Level 4) and am progressing through ACCA Applied Skills.
