- Treasury & Intercompany Operations: Reconcile complex intercompany balances between subsidiary companies. Review and strategically restructure loan agreements between subsidiaries.

- Experience: Minimum 8 years of robust accounting experience. Candidates with at least 2 years of experience in fast-paced industries (such as trading, management consultancy, investment management, or private equity) will have a distinct advantage.
