  • Contribute to statutory reporting and compliance activities across the Group.
  • Analyse and interpret financial data, providing insight and recommendations where appropriate.
  • Support business initiatives and projects that impact Group reporting processes and controls.
  • Build strong relationships with stakeholders across Finance, Tax, Company Secretariat and wider business functions.
  • Identify opportunities to improve reporting processes, controls and efficiencies.

  • A Big Four or leading audit practice background is strongly preferred.
  • Experience operating at Senior Associate or Assistant Manager level within audit, or equivalent experience combining audit and industry accounting.
  • Strong understanding of financial reporting principles and accounting standards.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to communicate complex financial matters clearly to a variety of stakeholders.
