- Coordinate Group and statutory audits, maintain audit-ready financial records and drive timely resolution of audit queries and observations.
- Oversee key statutory, tax and regulatory compliance requirements across Group entities,



including compliance calendars, documentation, controls and timely escalation of exceptions.
- Strengthen accounting policies, financial controls, SOPs, review mechanisms and reporting governance across entities.
- Review financial information, investigate unusual balances and variances, and provide clear insights to Finance leadership.

- Ideally 7-10 years of relevant experience in corporate accounting, controllership, financial reporting or public accounting.
- Strong hands-on experience in financial statement preparation and review, Group consolidation and period-end closing.
