• Are an exceptionally organised, hands-on professional who can manage the entire close process independently with minimal oversight
• Have a deep and comprehensive understanding of accounting principles (local GAAP and IFRS) and statutory reporting requirements
• Possess extensive experience utilising enterprise-level ERP systems (e.g., SAP, NetSuite, Workday) and advanced financial modelling in Excel
• Have an meticulous eye for detail, ensuring the balance sheet is fully supported, reconciled, and clean at all times
• Have excellent time-management skills, with a demonstrated ability to prioritise tasks under pressure during tight close cycles

Nice to Have

• Experience participating in ERP migrations, system upgrades, or the implementation of specialised modules (e.g., fixed asset, inventory tracking, or automated reconciliation tools)
• Familiarity with Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tools or basic scripting (like VBA or Python) to automate repetitive month-end tasks
• Experience working in a multi-entity, multi-currency environment with exposure to foreign exchange (FX) accounting and intercompany transactions
• A track record of identifying inefficiencies in financial workflows and successfully driving process-improvement initiatives (e.g., shortening the month-end close cycle)
