• Develop robust Business Intelligence reporting tools that empower management, business heads, and support departments to self‑analyse their performance and make informed decisions.
• Design analytical tools to identify expense patterns or themes, enabling more informed decision‑making on matters such as corporate rates versus standard rates, flight categories taken, P&L impact of exception approvals, and timeliness of expense submissions.
