Role OverviewKey ResponsibilitiesA. MIS, Reporting & Board Pack• Own the monthly Investor MIS and the Board / Audit Committee finance pack — design, build, and deliver to non-negotiable timelines (working day 8 each month).

- Build and maintain entity-level and consolidated dashboards: revenue, GM, EBITDA, cash, working capital, EC-level P&L;, factory cost-of-production, FurnitureOne SKU economics.
- Run monthly business reviews with the CEO: variance analysis (Actual vs Budget vs Last Year), driver-based explanations, and forward-looking flags.

- Maintain a 12-month rolling forecast updated every quarter (or sooner on material change).
- Run scenario / sensitivity analyses on key levers — order intake, AOV, GM, fixed cost growth, expansion pace — and quantify cash and EBITDA implications.
