  • Drive budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and actionable business insights for leadership review
  • Ensure accuracy and integrity of financial statements, books of accounts, internal controls, and statutory compliance
  • Oversee cash flow management, working capital planning, and financial risk management
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with sales, operations, HR, and leadership to ensure revenue and business goals remain on track
  • Support strategic initiatives including fundraising, board reporting, business reviews, and expansion planning where required

  • High degree of structure, rigor, and problem-solving ability
  • Excellent stakeholder management and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence business decisions effectively

Success in this role looks like

  • Finance operates as a strong business partner, not just a control function
  • Revenue, cost, and profitability are tracked tightly with strong visibility for leadership
  • Processes are structured, scalable, and audit-ready
  • Cross-functional teams experience finance as collaborative, responsive, and solution-oriented
