• Propose top down Group and divisional budget targets from the long-term plan and reconcile them with the bottom up budget.
• Own the central cash flow model, outputing debt, covenant headroom and liquidity forecasting, working with the Group Treasury team to report this to lenders.
• Support the Treasury and central accounts teams to build and maintain the daily and 13 week cash forecasting models, ensuring they reconcile to the central cash model and long-term forecast, and review forecast accuracy against actual cash each month.
