• Establish regular reviews with functional leaders to ensure financial accountability and budget ownership.
• Design and implement reporting frameworks for expenses across all Group entities.

Finance Transformation Partnership

• Work closely with the Finance Transformation team on the redesign and implementation of reporting solutions.

• Participate in the design and implementation of Group recharge frameworks, including allocation drivers and the monitoring of cost distributions across legal entities.
• Support the development of management fee methodologies and intercompany recharge mechanisms.
• Coordinate with Tax and Transfer Pricing teams to ensure compliance with applicable policies and regulations.
