• Support BOE transformation initiatives and client projects, collaborating closely with Global Finance and Operations teams.
• Provide ad hoc financial analysis and support as required.
• Lead the balance sheet review process on behalf of the Global Finance Director, ensuring timely completion and maintaining high standards of review quality.
• Foster and strengthen relationships with account teams, central teams, global support functions, customers, and external agencies such as auditors.
• Maintain regular communication with PJM and Operations teams to ensure alignment with operational goals and achievements.
• Identify, analyse, and clearly communicate potential business risks, as well as opportunities and solutions to enhance business performance.
• Safeguard the integrity of data within BOE systems.
• Continually enhance and develop systems to maximise efficiency for the account.
• Ensure the accuracy and reliability of accounting records and financial systems, seeking out opportunities to improve system efficiency where possible.
