• Support IFRS and/or US GAAP reporting requirements and maintain alignment between local and group reporting standards.
• Ensure local statutory reporting and compliance requirements are met, including local GAAP, tax, VAT/sales tax, and regulatory filings where applicable.
• Coordinate and support external audits and local statutory audits, acting as the main point of contact for auditors where applicable.
• Maintain strong internal controls and continuously improve processes to strengthen accuracy, efficiency, and scalability.
• Partner with operational teams to translate business activity into accurate financial treatment, including leases, revenue recognition, cost allocations, and capitalisation policies.
• Support budgeting and forecasting processes at a regional or cost-centre level alongside Finance Operations and operational leaders.
• Provide financial insight and constructive challenge to senior stakeholders through data-driven analysis.
• Identify gaps between local operational realities and group processes, then proactively solve issues and implement improvements.

About You
