4. Collaborating with leaders across Sales, Marketing, and Operations to translate business initiatives into financial plans, evaluating the financial impact of strategic projects, pricing decisions, and new market launches.
5. Managing consolidated financials and reporting across international operations and acquisitions, ensuring accurate intercompany accounting, harmonized reporting standards, and operational integration of new entities.
6. Ensuring effective cash flow forecasting and working capital optimization to support growth initiatives, and liaising with banks, investors, or funding partners as needed.
7. Supporting financial due diligence for potential acquisitions and contributing to deal structuring, ensuring smooth financial integration post-acquisition, aligned reporting, and performance monitoring.
8. Designing and implementing scalable financial processes, internal controls, and systems to support a growing, multi-country organization, championing automation and efficiency improvements.
9. Preparing and delivering clear, compelling financial reports and presentations for the Board of Directors, providing context and strategic insights.
