Accomplishments
- Supervised team of 9staff members.
- As the Head of Audit and Inventory, I spearheaded a structural transformation of the internal control environment for a multi-sector organization. By moving from a generalist audit approach to a Specialized Unit Model, I successfully reduced transaction recording errors by 30% and maintained a 100% compliance record across diverse business units, including Retail, Construction, and Agriculture.
- The challenge was establishing a complete, independent accounting cycle for a new business venture by accurately extracting and migrating all relevant financial data from a complex, existing main business's records. This required precision in data handling and strategic financial planning to ensure compliance from day one. This comprehensive case project is complete and ready to be used in your professional profile. It showcases not only your accounting knowledge but also your ability to deliver complex projects quickly and accurately.
- Project 3: Business Operations Management
- Situation: Managed an entrepreneurial venture in the wholesale/retail trading sector
- Task: Managed all aspects of the business, from sourcing to sales, demonstrating full operational command.
- Action: successfully acquired inventory, managed cash flow, and executed sales cycles
- Result: Maintained profitability year-over-year and developed efficient sales funnels.
