6. Management Reporting & Data Analysis

• Prepare financial MIS, management reports and dashboards.
• Analyse large financial and operational datasets to identify trends and business opportunities.
• Convert complex financial information into clear business insights.
• Support automation/improvement of financial reporting and dashboards where required.

7. Strategic & Ad-hoc Analysis

• Evaluate new business opportunities, investments and expansion plans.
• Analyse the financial impact of pricing, cost optimisation and operating-model changes.
• Prepare business cases and financial analysis for strategic initiatives.
• Support Senior Management with ad-hoc financial analysis and decision-making.

Key Skills Required

• Strong understanding of P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow.
• Strong proficiency in Advanced Microsoft Excel.
• Ability to independently build financial models from scratch.
• Good knowledge of IRR, ROI, NPV, DCF and Payback Period.
• Strong understanding of budgeting, forecasting, CAPEX, working capital and profitability analysis.
