  • Month-End Closing & Reporting – Prepare and post journal entries in line with reporting deadlines and ensure accuracy of financial statements; provide documentation for construction, CAPEX, and lease-related transactions during audits.
  • Process Improvement & Collaboration – Support Finance projects and continuous improvement initiatives; partner with Finance, Construction & Real Estate, and external stakeholders to resolve queries and deliver accurate financial outcomes
