Manage the internal team and outsourced partners, ensuring high-quality outputs across AP/AR, payroll, reconciliations, and month-end close.
Oversee cash flow forecasting, optimise working capital, and manage banking and FX exposure.
Maintain strong internal controls, lead anti-fraud measures, and ensure compliance across VAT, tax, and payroll obligations.
Support key departments with financial insights, KPI tracking, pricing, and profitability analysis across stores and channels.
Own the ERP system, ensuring data integrity, process improvements, and alignment with Group tools and reporting.
Oversee leases, licences, and insurance; support audits, claims, and finance transformation initiatives, including new store openings.
Partner closely with Group Finance, IT, and Legal to ensure alignment on policies, systems, and cross-border activities.
