- Track feed usage, feed conversion ratio (FCR), mortality, culls, and grading losses; reconcile eggs laid versus graded versus sold daily
- Value inventory (feed, medications, packaging) and biological assets; conduct weekly stock counts and variance reports
- Manage route/depot accounting including cash and COD controls, days sales outstanding (DSO), credit limits, and bad-debt provisioning

- Ensure compliance with Tanzanian tax requirements and filings in coordination with local consultants (VAT, withholding, payroll); maintain clean audit trails and EFD/e-invoicing records where applicable
- Draft and enforce practical finance SOPs for stores, purchases, and dispatch operations
Reporting & Planning
- Produce daily dashboards tracking production, sales, average selling price (ASP) versus index, shrink/breakage, collections, and cash on hand
