    • Auckland Zoo

    I had the honor of reporting directly to Tātaki Auckland Unlimited within the Finance & Commercial Advisory team, where I actively contributed to a diverse array of financial and accounting functions, overseeing a broad spectrum of responsibilities.During my tenure, I conducted meticulous reviews of OPEX to ensure precision in financial records, managed end-to-end Purchase Order processes, and maintained accurate reconciliation of Zoo accounts in SAP and Ungerboeck (Momentus). Collaborating closely with the Business Advisor, I played a key role in presenting detailed monthly reports to the Executive Leadership Team, facilitating insightful analyses of actuals versus budgets for informed decision-making.Moreover, I successfully completed two transformative projects: overseeing the transition from AdvanceRetail to Vend and subsequently from Vend to Ticketure. These initiatives significantly streamlined operations, resulting in enhanced organizational efficiency.In my multifaceted role, I supported the banking team in managing comprehensive bank reconciliations, assisted the credit team in spearheading debtor management, actively participated in audits, and made substantial contributions to month-end processes and KPI reporting. Additionally, I provided extensive training on software systems such as UB, SAP, and Power BI at Auckland Zoo, elevating the proficiency levels of the team.
