Supporting and facilitating milestone meetings or any other project reviews (Studio, Business Unit, HQ, etc.), acting as the project's financial representative to the group's financial bodies or any other function involved.

Quarterly budget review process, monthly tracking of actuals within the scope (projects and their impact on the studio), in compliance with the set budgetary framework.

Supporting the spread of financial culture within the brand's projects.

Contributing to the improvement of processes and tools with the aim of better equipping management in its financial tracking and decision-making, particularly via PowerBI and/or with the help of agentic AI.
