Key Responsibilities

• Develop budgets, forecasts, and multi-year plans (3–5 year horizon) aligned to established business objectives and strategic initiatives.
• Assess existing finance structures, processes, and reporting frameworks; develop and implement improvements to simplify, automate, or streamline workflows.
• Enhance reporting accuracy and timeliness by leveraging internally developed software and automation tools, including AI integration where applicable.
• Review existing cost pools and identify opportunities for further consolidation.
• Initiate and lead special projects related to business unit performance, M&A activity, and other strategic opportunities.
• Recommend changes to financial strategies and provide support for financial transactions and business decisions.
• Review and test consolidated annual budget schedules; organise and maintain budget schedules and instructions.
