  • Prepare KPI dashboards for production performance (OEE, yield, scrap rates, cost per unit, etc.).
  • Analyze variances between budget, forecast, and actual results, highlighting root causes.
  • Provide financial insights for decision-making by senior leadership.
  • Oversee standard costing, BOM costing, cost center allocations, and manufacturing cost structures.
  • Ensure accurate inventory valuation for raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods.
  • Monitor production variances, downtime costs, and plant-level financial performance.
  • Support cost-reduction, efficiency, and optimization initiatives across manufacturing operations.
  • Ensure financial processes comply with internal controls, IFRS, and audit requirements.
  • Strengthen controls over production reporting, inventory movements, and cost accounting.
  • Collaborate with IT and ERP teams to enhance financial modules within SAP/Oracle/other systems.
  • Act as a key financial partner to production, supply chain, and procurement departments.
  • Support CapEx planning, investment proposals, and ROI analysis.
  • Provide scenarios and financial modeling to support strategic initiatives and plant expansion opportunities.
  • Participate in operational reviews and drive continuous improvement culture.
Knowledge, Skills, and Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field.
  • Professional certifications preferred: CMA, CPA, ACCA.
  • 10 years of experience in budgeting, reporting, or cost accounting.
  • Mandatory: experience in the manufacturing/production sector (chemicals, industrial, FMCG, construction materials, plastics, etc.).
  • Strong knowledge of manufacturing finance, standard costing, BOMs, and inventory valuation.
  • Proficient in financial modeling, variance analysis, and management reporting.
