  • Support the audit process by preparing documentation and liaising with external auditors to facilitate smooth reviews.
  • Develop and implement effective financial policies and procedures that promote transparency and accountability within the team.
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to junior finance staff, fostering a culture of learning and professional development.
