  • Review performance against budget, forecast, and prior periods, providing insights and recommendations for improvement.
  • Prepare reports for senior management, highlighting key financial metrics and advising on actions to improve business performance.

  • Provide input into the group-level forecast process, ensuring that manufacturing and operational data are accurately reflected.
  • Assist in developing financial models to project future performance and capital requirements at both the subsidiary and group level.
  • Provide monthly and quarterly forecasting support, revising projections based on actual performance and business changes.

  • Conduct break-even analysis, margin analysis, and other profitability studies to guide pricing decisions, cost reductions, and investment strategies.
  • Support strategic decision-making, including make-or-buy analysis, plant efficiency studies, and profitability assessments for new product lines or market segments.
Internal Controls & Compliance:
  • Ensure compliance with financial regulations and accounting standards (e.g., IFRS, GAAP), including managing the financial reporting requirements of the group.
  • Work closely with external auditors during year-end audits, ensuring timely and accurate delivery of financial data for group consolidation and individual entity audits.
  • Ensure that robust internal controls are in place for financial reporting, cost accounting, and inventory management.
  • Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure compliance with tax regulations and financial reporting standards.

  • Continuously identify opportunities for process improvements across financial reporting, cost accounting, and consolidation workflows.
  • Recommend and implement improvements to ERP systems and accounting processes to enhance data accuracy, financial efficiency, and automation.
  • Support cross-functional teams (e.g., production, operations, procurement) in aligning financial reporting practices with operational activities and business objectives.
REQUIREMENTS:
  • Education:
  • Bachelors degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (essential). Professional accounting qualification (e.g., CIMA, ACCA, ACA) or progress toward qualification is highly desirable.
  • Experience:
    • At least 4-6 years of experience in management accounting or finance, with significant exposure to cost accounting and financial reporting in a manufacturing or multi-entity environment.
    • Hands-on experience with group consolidation, intercompany eliminations, and multi-entity reporting processes.
    • Proficiency in using ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics) and advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, financial modelling, macros).
    • Knowledge of IFRS, GAAP, and other relevant financial regulations, particularly as they apply to group consolidation and multi-entity environments.
  • Skills:
    • Strong analytical skills, with the ability to translate complex financial data into actionable insights for both manufacturing operations and group-level decision-making.
    • Expertise in cost control, budget management, and financial forecasting, particularly within a manufacturing context.
    • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to liaise with senior management and various departments across the organization.
    • Detail-oriented and organized, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Desirable Attributes:
