•  Prepare supporting schedules and transaction data for tax filings across your entities

•  Support the preparation of statutory accounts by providing accurate trial balances, schedules, and reconciliations

•  Assist with audit queries by providing schedules, workpapers, and supporting documentation for your entities

7.  Day-to-Day Finance Operations

•  Act as the first point of contact for finance queries relating to your assigned entities from internal stakeholders, suppliers, and clients

•  Respond to and resolve finance queries promptly including invoice queries, payment status, and reconciliation questions

•  Able to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously across different entities or workstreams

•  Good communication skills — able to respond to queries clearly and liaise effectively with internal and external stakeholders

 

Preferred

•  Experience working in a multi-entity or multi-jurisdiction accounting environment

•  Exposure to intercompany accounting and group consolidation processes
