You will oversee both accounts receivable and payable processes, ensuring smooth cash flow management while upholding rigorous compliance standards. Working closely with international stakeholders—including direct reporting to senior finance leadership based in the UK—you will also play a vital role in budgeting, forecasting, audit preparation, inventory accounting, and driving process improvements.
