- Maintain open and proactive communication with non-finance departments to ensure data accuracy, contextual understanding, and actionable recommendations.

Reporting & Insight Generation:
- Prepare executive-level presentations, dashboards, and board materials on financial and operational performance.
- Ensure data quality, consistency, and integrity in reports by validating inputs from group companies or internal stakeholders.
- Provide ad-hoc financial analyses to support commercial decisions, pricing strategy, or investment evaluation.
