- Ensure the preparation of comprehensive monthly and audited annual financial statements, maintaining rigorous compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
- Drive further AI adoption and automation in Finance: agent/AI-based workflows, and tooling-led productivity gains.
- Strategically manage financial risks, including FX and interest costs, to safeguard the company's financial health.
- Oversee implementation of IFRS reporting, ensuring transparency and reliability in financial reporting.

## YOUR PROFILE:
