- 3. Management Reporting & Decision Support
- Executive Dashboards: Prepare clear, comprehensive management reports and executive dashboards for senior leadership and board meetings.
- Business Partnering: Act as a trusted financial advisor to non-financial managers, helping them understand their budgets, analyze cost structures, and optimize resource allocation.
- Ad-Hoc Analysis: Deliver deep-dive financial analyses on pricing strategies, product line profitability, and working capital optimization.
- 4. Process Improvement & Compliance

- Experience: progressive experience in management accounting, corporate finance, or FP&A, ideally within a mid-to-large corporate environment.
- Technical Skills:
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (complex modeling, pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, macros).
- Familiarity with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, NetSuite) and Business Intelligence / data visualization tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau).
