  • Deliver insightful analysis and recommendations to senior stakeholders across APAC and globally.
  • Oversee balance sheet reconciliations, aged debt reviews, and general ledger integrity.
  • Drive budgeting, forecasting, and financial modelling to support strategic planning.
  • Support internal and external audits, including trust account compliance and year-end reporting.

  • Qualifications

  • An inclusive and social culture with regular team events
