Strong technical accounting and statutory reporting capability. Commercial acumen and the confidence to operate close to ownership. Experience overseeing multiple entities and complex group structures. Strong understanding of banking, taxation, compliance and financial governance. The ability to build robust processes and controls without creating unnecessary bureaucracy. A willingness to be hands-on when required, while also thinking strategically.
