The role involves the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports, variance analysis, and the development of key performance indicators (KPIs) to track business performance. You will collaborate closely with various departments, including sales, marketing, and operations, to gather data, understand business drivers, and provide financial guidance. A critical aspect of this position is to identify trends, risks, and opportunities, communicating these findings clearly and concisely to stakeholders.

A Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field is mandatory; a Master's degree or professional certification (CFA, CPA) is a significant advantage.
