  • Establish internal controls to mitigate financial risks and protect company assets.
  • Continuously assess and enhance financial workflows to drive efficiency and accuracy.
  • Build, mentor, and manage the accounting team, fostering a culture of learning and continuous improvement.
  • Lead change management initiatives, ensuring smooth adoption of new financial systems and processes.
  • Develop training programs and workshops to enhance technical and operational skills within the team.
  • Promote a collaborative and high-performance work environment, driving motivation and engagement.
