  • Proven experience in group consolidation of multi-entity, multi-currency structures, including intercompany eliminations.

  • Demonstrated ability to translate financial data into actionable insights.

  • Confident and credible communicator, with experience presenting to senior stakeholders.

  • Skilled in navigating complex environments with multiple stakeholders and business units.

 

Skills & Attributes

  • Advanced Excel skills with the ability to build complex models.

  • Proficiency in Power BI (or other data visualisation/analytics tools).

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a continuous improvement mindset.

  • Highly organised, detail-focused, and comfortable managing multiple priorities.
