• Take charge of the annual budget, the quarterly forecast and the group's cost model
• Produce quarterly management accounts with insightful variance commentary for the CFO and Executive Committee, and oversee the quarterly divisional calculations
• Choose and implement the tools that underpin group reporting, including consolidation and BI platforms, and automate manual processes wherever possible
• Redesign the reporting cycle around clear close calendars, review standards and controls, so the function is less dependent on any one individual
• Lead and develop the Group Reporting team, partnering with finance colleagues in the UK and overseas, Tax and the external auditors
