Owiredu Kwadwo Boateng

Owiredu is a control-systems finance operator and Chartered Accountant who consistently transforms financial complexity into audit-ready, decision-grade clarity. His background spans high-reporting-standard environments including Unilever Ghana PLC, Nestlé Central & West Africa, and Controller at Cascade CPA in Madison, WI, delivering IFRS and US GAAP compliance, month-end close discipline, fraud controls, and ERP mastery across SAP, QuickBooks, and Magnitude. At Unilever, he operated under “Right First Time” standards, producing compliant financial statements, audit-ready reports, and management-usable support schedules and reconciliations. He resolved a GHS 57 million receivables problem by redesigning SAP controls instead of adding headcount, demonstrating both technical fluency and economic discipline. Formal achievements include reducing overdue debt from GHS 57 million to under GHS 1 million monthly through automated SAP blocks and alerts with zero control assessment failures. At Nestlé, he reduced payroll open items by approximately 90%, achieving savings of around CHF 3 million, and automated GL clearing while reducing trade spend open items. At Mary, he serves as the “Flow” layer, preventing scaling from creating invisible financial risk, ensuring intercompany discipline, audit readiness, clean reporting, and robust control frameworks that make investor diligence straightforward.
