- Building board-ready reporting packages, investor updates and key performance metrics
- Partnering with operational leaders to improve profitability, pricing strategies, working capital performance and business efficiency
- Developing capital management strategies including debt facilities, banking relationships and funding requirements
- Establishing robust forecasting, budgeting and cashflow management processes across multiple operating entities
- Leading finance transformation initiatives, leveraging technology and AI-enabled solutions to improve reporting, controls and operational efficiency
