· Process Transformation: Act as a change agent to identify and implement improvements in finance workflows, reporting standards, and internal controls to enhance efficiency and data quality.

· Reporting Powerhouse: You have deep experience in preparing full financial statements and are comfortable determining accounting treatments for statutory reporting.

· Systems Savvy: You possess advanced Excel skills for data manipulation and are experienced with ERP platforms.

· Meticulous & Proactive: You have an exceptional eye for detail and the ability to preempt auditor queries or reporting discrepancies before they arise.
