Monetisation | Strategic Commercial development.
I have developed several core strengths in my role as a Chartered Accountant CA(SA) focused on delivering monetisation strategies for management teams and small business owners. Namely, setting and measuring Objectives and Key Results (OKR’s) to align deliverables and to motivate team performance. In addition, setting Key Performance Measures (KPI’s) to analyse financial outcomes. Equally important, I have honed my knowledge of cash management strategies to optimise growth. Moreover, through my various engagements, I have acquired a solid appreciation for the liquidity and commercial challenges faced by growth businesses.
