  • Collaborate with management but take independent ownership of assisting in the preparation and analysis of annual budgets and financial forecasts, particularly in areas like inventory planning, logistics, and cost management.
  • Ensure compliance with internal control procedures to safeguard company assets, mitigate risks, and ensure financial integrity across operations. Act independently to identify and address control gaps.
  • Provide independent financial analysis, including performance against budgets, cash flow management, and operational efficiencies. Identify key trends and areas for improvement, reporting directly to senior management.
  • Provide operational support to different teams (e.g., sales, logistics, and procurement) to ensure financial processes are aligned across departments, resolving any issues related to financial transactions, inventory, and budget management.
