• Analyse revenue, costs and business performance to provide meaningful financial insights
• Support commercial billing and operational finance activities across multiple business units
• Assist with payroll processing and finance compliance requirements
• Review Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets and bank reconciliations as part of the month-end process
• Monitor working capital and cash flow reporting
• Assist with year-end audit preparation, audit packs and supporting documentation
