  • Support internal and external audits, including preparation of supporting schedules and reconciliations
  • Assist with budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis
  • Identify opportunities to improve month-end processes, reconciliations and reporting efficiency
  • Provide guidance and support to junior finance team members as required

You will bring:

  • CA or CPA qualification
  • 5+ years’ experience in financial accounting or similar month-end focused roles
  • Strong hands-on experience with month-end close and balance sheet reconciliations
  • Exposure to high-volume transaction environments(multi-entity or operationally complex preferred)
