• Prepare and analyze monthly/quarterly financial reports (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) with detailed commentary on financial health.
• Perform deep-dive analysis on client revenues, expenses, and variances to identify trends and cost-saving opportunities.
• Manage complex financial tasks including multi-currency bank reconciliations, Accounts Payable/Receivable management, and payroll processing.

• Analyze internal workflows to develop more efficient reporting processes and improve service delivery.
• Assist clients in developing their business by providing financial forecasts, budgeting assistance, and cash flow projections.
