- Financial reporting and control. Take responsibility for the integrity and accuracy of financial reporting across the German portfolio, including German GAAP/HGB, German tax compliance, local statutory accounts, audits and VAT. You will oversee outsourced accounting providers and ensure high-quality monthly, quarterly and annual reporting, statutory accounts, audit and tax compliance.
- Governance and systems. Maintain appropriate financial controls, governance and reporting processes across German SPVs and joint ventures, while supporting the implementation and continuous improvement of finance systems, processes and reporting infrastructure.
