Key responsibilities include:
Month-end reporting and reconciliationsStatutory and corporate reportingFinancial analysis and investigation of variancesPayroll for a small salaried workforceSupporting reporting requirements across a multi-entity group structureContributing to process improvements and helping enhance the capability of the finance function
