• From annual budgets to monthly reforecasts, you'll ensure numbers aren't just accurate, but meaningful, giving teams clarity on how they're tracking and where they can improve.
• Manage IFRS 16 lease accounting, inventory reconciliations, and strengthen internal controls - all while identifying smarter, more efficient ways of working.
• Support with ad hoc projects and commercial analysis.
