Terence Farai Madondo

Certified Sage Intacct Implementation Consultant transitioning into ERP implementation consulting on the strength of 10+ years of progressive finance and accounting practice. Brings hands-on ERP implementation exposure as Company Champion for a full Proman-to-Odoo transition — engaged with an appointed implementation partner across requirements gathering, configuration, testing, UAT, go-live and post-go-live support. Deep functional grounding in General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, cash management, purchasing, billing, project accounting, financial reporting, controls and month-end close, built through direct ownership of these processes across engineering, professional services and multi-client SME environments.

This combination — a completed Sage Intacct implementation credential plus a decade of lived finance-process experience — allows for faster, lower-risk onboarding onto client implementations than a generalist consultant without an accounting background: able to bridge finance users, business requirements and ERP delivery teams from day one.

• Independently manage the full financial accounting function for a portfolio of 15 SME and corporate clients across 6 industries — combined turnover of approximately R20 million — entirely on a remote, multi-environment basis, a working model directly analogous to managing multiple parallel client engagements as an ERP consultant.

• Review client finance processes and controls, identify gaps, and design and implement practical reporting, workflow and automation improvements — the same current-state/future-state analysis used in ERP requirements gathering.
• Reduced month-end close time by 3 working days for two of the largest clients by redesigning reconciliation and reporting workflows.
• Deliver full tax and statutory compliance (VAT, PAYE, Income Tax, Provisional Tax, Dividends Tax, CIPC) with a 100% on-time SARS submission record, and act as primary liaison for external auditors across 7 annual audits.
