Cynthia Ndimande

My name is Nonkuleko Cynthia Ndimande, and I hold a Diploma in Financial Accounting. I have always been naturally drawn to numbers and the structure, logic, and insight that financial data provides. For me, accounting is not just about balancing figures — it is about understanding the story behind the numbers and using that information to support sound decision-making and sustainable growth. This passion has guided my professional journey and shaped my commitment to accuracy, integrity, and continuous improvement within the accounting field.

In September 2024, I joined Lifestyle Health as a Bookkeeper, and it has been an incredibly enriching experience both professionally and personally. From the outset, I was welcomed into a work environment that values collaboration, accountability, and shared purpose. The company fosters a culture of learning and empowerment, encouraging each team member to develop beyond their core responsibilities and contribute meaningfully to the broader vision of the brand.

I am especially grateful to be guided by Caroline Jelliman, whose leadership style is both grounded and inspiring. Her professionalism, strategic thinking, and dedication to excellence create a standard that motivates the entire team. Under her leadership, I have gained valuable insight into how strong financial management supports business expansion, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainability.

Beyond my primary responsibilities in bookkeeping — including financial reconciliations, reporting, and maintaining accurate records — I have broadened my skill set to include stock control oversight, merchandising support, product knowledge, and customer service engagement. Gaining exposure to these additional areas has strengthened my understanding of the retail and wellness environment, allowing me to contribute more holistically to the company’s operations. It has also deepened my appreciation for how finance integrates with every aspect of the business, from inventory management to customer experience.

Lifestyle Health is a forward-thinking organisation that embraces growth, innovation, and high standards. Being part of such a dynamic and expanding brand has reinforced my commitment to excellence and professional development. I am proud to contribute to a team that is driven by purpose and integrity, and I look forward to continuing to grow alongside the company as we build a strong and sustainable future.
