   • Board Packs: Produce clear, accurate financial decks for the Board of Directors, focusing on variance analysis between actuals vs. budget from a reporting perspective.
   • Tax & Compliance: Oversee direct and indirect tax filings (SST, CIT) and ensure all statutory deadlines are met without exception.
3. Audit & Governance
   • Audit Lead: act as the primary liaison for external auditors; manage the end‑to‑end audit schedule, resolve audit queries, and ensure a clean audit report.
