• Finance Systems and Processes: Support selection and implementation of core finance systems and tools to streamline and enhance reporting, consolidation, and compliance across the Group. Look for ways to automate and scale processes.
• Support Statutory Accounts and Tax Compliance: Coordinate with external advisors and local teams to support audits, tax filings and other regulatory reporting requirements across jurisdictions.
