About Shuvashi

Phone verified

I am a qualified, experienced professional who’s enjoyed a successful career in Finance, spanning 17 years, with the last 12 years being spent at a multinational role player headquartered in the USA, providing me with international reporting exposure. I am immediately available and possess the skills you require together with experience in many reputable companies. Starting out as the first in-house Accountant/Bookkeeper, I grew and progressed in the role, performing financial management, financial reporting, reconciliations, analysis and cash management functions. I also provided input and reviewed budgets/forecasts, tax, payroll and AP/AR/AM hubs. The organization was structured with various affiliates and centralized functions across the globe, reporting to the Controllership team (in the United Kingdom). As the local finance specialist for the South African office, I was responsible for reporting on all aspects of the local business; internal/external audits; providing suggestions on improvements to local operations; implementing local controls, policy and procedures; supporting centralized functions; key individual on finance-related projects for the local operations (latest being the global SAP role out in Jan'20 and the Digital Transformation Project Phase 1) and responsible for monthly, quarterly and annual close deadlines/reporting. In my 12 years of employment with my previous employer, I received unqualified audit reports consecutively, every year. I have advanced Excel skills and the financial models I created are still being used today. My soft skills ensured time management, efficiency, planning and prioritizing to ensure that I never missed a deadline. My impetus for perfection ensured accuracy and timeliness of deliverables. My dedication and willingness to gain knowledge and grow in the role saw me adding responsibilities to my job spec. over the years, including being the Accountant responsible for a small affiliate in Poland and execution of global journals. 'Old School’ ideals, morals and values, instilled in me from a very young age, by my parents, are the foundation for my strong sense of responsibility, passion for engagements I dedicate my time to and the focus and drive, to see every endeavour to a successful completion. Being based locally, and the sole employee in the local Finance/Accounting department in a regulated, deadline and results driven environment, required firm work ethics, discipline, dedication and effective planning/prioritising skills, all of which is now second nature to me. I have a proven track record of being highly dependable, adaptable and capable of communication at all levels. As an employee I have proven to be diligent and focused, efficient, responsible, trustworthy and honest. My 12-year history with my previous employer is testament to my work ethic, skill, dedication and resilience. I am now looking for a new challenge and exposure into other industries/businesses as well as exposure to the digital technologies which are on the rise in the Finance/Accounting field, to grow my career and knowledge. I am passionate about data analysis, accounting, operations and reports/financial modelling.
