In conjunction, this role will extend to areas of accounting and finance support; whereby the month-end close, reconciliation and consolidation of statutory accounts is managed in an accurate and timely manner. This will ensure the maintenance of all intercompany accounts, adherence under IFRS, overseeing the accounting policy and preparing schedules for tax returns and audits. The Finance & Tax Manager will also take ownership of reporting controls, from both an operational and project basis, with a need to support finance projects focused towards improvement policy, any systems review and the introduction of management-based (MIS) reporting tools.
