• Manage and coordinate statutory audits, tax filings, and regulatory reporting across the region

• Design, implement, and continuously strengthen internal controls and SOPs across entities, identifying gaps and driving remediation

• Partner with Treasury, Tax, Legal, and regional business teams to ensure financial governance keeps pace with business expansion

• Drive process automation and system improvements (ERP, consolidation tools) to improve close efficiency and reporting accuracy

• Support ad hoc projects including new entity setup, M&A integration, new accounting standard adoption, and system implementations

• Demonstrated experience building or improving internal controls and finance processes in a high-growth or scaling environment
