Beyond the numbers, you will serve as a strategic partner to senior management, analyzing Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet trends to explain variances and drive financial insights.

This involves leading the statutory audit process from planning to final sign-off, ensuring seamless tax compliance, and adhering to global internal control guidelines. Furthermore, you will be a champion for modernization; we look to you to identify opportunities for process optimization, driving automation and digitalization to streamline workflows. Leading a team of analysts, you will foster a collaborative environment that prioritizes accuracy, regulatory adherence, and continuous improvement across the region.

You must possess a proven track record of managing end-to-end finance scopes, with specific expertise in financial reporting, tax compliance, and the independent management of statutory audits. A strong command of regulatory frameworks, particularly FRS 116 (Lease Accounting), is essential.

Beyond technical acumen, they are seeking a forward-thinking leader who has successfully demonstrated the ability to standardize and automate financial processes.
