• Prepare and review the quarterly reporting package for consolidation purposes, including detailed intercompany balances (P&L and balance sheet) reconciled across all Group entities, coordinating with the Corporate Administration team for intercompany relationships outside the hospitality perimeter;
• Deliver the reviewed reporting package to the holding company's team responsible for the Group consolidated financial statements;
• Support the local administrative teams of each asset during month-end, quarter-end and year-end closing activities, ensuring all relevant accounting entries are properly recorded (e.g. non-core-business entries, derivatives, financing, tax provisions, etc.);
