Advanced technical accounting expertise with attention to detail.

Demonstrated experience shaping finance policy or governance frameworks.

Strong stakeholder management skills.

Excellent verbal, written communication, and critical thinking skills.

A track record of driving improvements in financial reporting processes and systems.
