Deloitte Consulting is a leading provider of innovative development solutions to U.S. and international donors, foundations, governments, and Fortune 500 companies. We are currently seeking a Management Accountant to oversee financial planning and analysis for farming, manufacturing, and distribution operations. The successful candidate will be deeply involved in budgeting, standard costing, and operational efficiency analysis to support strategic decision-making and business growth.
Key Responsibilities
Budgeting & Forecasting: Prepare annual budgets and quarterly forecasts for farming, manufacturing, and distribution operations.
Profitability Analysis: Develop product-level profitability analysis, including SKU-level margin analysis for fresh, processed, and export lines.
Pricing Support: Support pricing decisions through cost build-ups and sensitivity analysis regarding feed cost volatility, FX impact on imports, and fuel movements.
Reporting: Produce monthly management accounts with variance analysis (volume, yield, wastage, and overhead absorption).
Cost Modeling: Maintain standard costing models for livestock rearing, slaughtering, processing, and packaging.
Yield Management: Monitor production yields, carcass recovery rates, wastage, and by-product revenue streams.
Operational Analysis: Analyze feed cost per kg of livestock growth and its impact on the overall cost of sales; work closely with plant managers to identify operational inefficiencies and cost leakages.
Inventory Control: Ensure accurate inventory valuation across raw materials, WIP, finished goods, and cold storage. Monitor stock movements across farms, plants, and distribution depots.
Reconciliation: Reconcile physical stock counts with system records and investigate variances; track inventory holding days to reduce tied-up working capital.

Optimization: Drive cost optimization initiatives with procurement and operations teams.
Compliance: Ensure adherence to internal financial controls, reporting timelines, and support audits.
