Your insights will support senior management in making informed decisions that drive growth and long-term success.

Key Responsibilities:

• Oversee day-to-day financial operations, including review of accounts, financial statements and transactions

• Prepare budgets, rolling forecasts and cash flow projections

• Develop financial models to support school planning and scenario simulations in Excel

• Advise the leadership team on financial strategy, internal controls, and risk

• Provide analysis on financial performance and develop presentations for board meetings
