• Support corporate tax compliance (VAT/GST, corporate income tax, withholding taxes) alongside external tax advisors.

• Drive financial compliance across commercial contracts, procurement processes, and vendor management.

5. Process Automation & Systems Optimization

• Identify opportunities to streamline finance workflows, eliminate reporting redundancies, and improve data accuracy.

• Help leverage ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Workday) and BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) to automate standard reporting and build self-service dashboards for business partners.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related quantitative field.

• Professional Qualification: CPA, CMA, ACCA, or CIMA qualification (or active candidacy) is highly desirable.

• Technical Skills:

  • Advanced financial modeling capabilities in Microsoft Excel.

  • Hands-on experience with ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, or similar) and reporting/BI tools (Power BI, Tableau).

  • In-depth understanding of full-cycle accounting principles, financial statements, and GAAP/IFRS.
