Areas of focus: - Financial control & reporting - International accounting & reconciliations - VAT & indirect tax coordination - Audit support & compliance - Process improvement & finance operations I enjoy working in fast-moving, globally connected environments where finance plays a strategic role, not just a reporting function.
