- Supporting this function will involve supervising at least one direct report and collaborating with our offshore service provider.
- Additional duties will include reviewing journal entries and reconciliation activities conducted by junior colleagues and our offshore accounting partners;
- Understanding, applying, and documenting accounting policies under US GAAP and FRS101;
- Acting as a primary contact for both internal and external audit teams during statutory and SOX audit activities;
