• Broiler division scope: a single legal entity, UAH 1.5B turnover, ~2,000 employees, full vertically
integrated cycle - hatchery -> grow-out farms -> feed mill -> poultry processing plant -> finished-goods
warehouses -> transport fleet -> maintenance crews. Poultry-meat exports.
• The owner was preparing me for the Chief Accountant role of the broiler division; on this development
track I systematically studied the production process - regular site visits and assessments at all
production locations (time-and-motion studies, physical inventories, cost-norm setting, budget reconciliation, audits of write-offs and cost-formation methodology, control over critical points: chick
placement, grow-out, slaughter, feed and veterinary supplies movement).

at the largest production site (40 poultry houses, ~1.5M birds per cycle, 5 brigades). Before
implementation, brigade leaders, energy engineers, economists, accountants and veterinarians were
duplicating entry of the same indicators into different systems; after implementation the data are
entered once, into a purpose-built interface (with control limits and hard-bound reference data) and
flow automatically into the accounting system as a single source of truth. Project extension: design of
Warehouse Manager and Veterinarian workstations. Acted as solution owner and coordinator with the
IT developer and the connectivity provider (the project required laying internet to remote production
sites).

and accuracy of Ukrainian-statutory data flowing into the IFRS conversion (performed by a dedicated
IFRS specialist) for quarterly disclosures of the public company.
• Continuous M&A Due Diligence - driven by the group's active land-bank expansion: contributed to DD
procedures for acquired agricultural assets on the buyer's side; later, supplied data for reverse DD
supporting investor onboarding and large-scale bank financing.
• Cross-border operations under currency control: import of agricultural machinery and spare parts;
export of grain (both domestic supplies to traders and direct export contracts abroad); compliance with
