  • Ensure that accounting policies are applied consistently throughout the OEGen Group, liaising with international companies, and working closely with them to provide assistance where required.
  • Work closely with international subsidiaries to ensure consistent application of accounting policies and procedures.
  • Work closely with the tax team preparing monthly VAT returns and assist in the preparation of annual tax returns.
