• Advanced Excel: lookups (XLOOKUP/INDEX‑MATCH), SUMIFS, pivot tables and building structured, error‑checked financial models.
• Proven experience building budgets or forecasts and preparing cost/budget variance analysis.
• Ability to explain numbers clearly, in writing and verbally, to non‑finance stakeholders. Strong PowerPoint skills.
• Excellent English communication. Strong attention to detail and respect for controls and accuracy.
