  • Ensure accurate and timely financial reporting, statutory returns, and audit support.

  • Strong proven experience in managing operational budgets, interpreting complex financial data and delivering strategic financial support.
  • Excellent leadership skills, with the ability to lead and motivate teams.
  • Advanced Excel, and data presentation capabilities.
