• Perform balance sheet reconciliations, resolving and escalating reconciling items in a timely manner.
• Assist in the preparation of monthly management accounts and financial statements.

Financial Processes & Controls

• Take ownership of defined financial processes (e.g., accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliations, intercompany), ensuring they run efficiently and accurately.
• Reconcile sub‑ledgers to the general ledger and resolve discrepancies promptly.
• Process and review invoices, payments, and expense claims in accordance with company policies.
• Monitor and follow up on outstanding items such as aged debtors, unapplied cash, or open POs.
