Risk, Compliance & Controls:

• Ensure strict compliance with US GAAP / IFRS standards.
• Strengthen internal control frameworks and reporting integrity.

• Act as a strategic partner to the Sales, Operations, and Marketing departments.
• Help department heads understand their financial metrics and manage their budgets effectively.
• Drive continuous improvement in working capital efficiency across the supply chain.
