  • A solid understanding of month-end processes and financial reporting.
  • Strong reconciliation and analytical skills.
  • The ability to confidently communicate financial information to a variety of stakeholders.
  • Excellent Excel skills and experience working with finance systems.
  • A proactive mindset and a passion for improving processes and finding better ways of working.
