We are a fast-growing organisation with an expanding portfolio of concepts, an active acquisition strategy, and ambitious plans for growth across new and existing markets.
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>
   ROLE PURPOSE
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  Lead the Finance Center of Excellence (CoE) for back-end accounting across the group. Own the integrity, control, and compliance of all financial reporting &mdash; and build the standardised platform that allows the CoE to scale across brands and geographies. The role is the foundation of the group&rsquo;s finance transformation; the first 12 months are about clearing the past, hardening controls, and embedding the operating model.
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>
   SCOPE OF FUNCTION (PHASE 1)
  </strong>
 </p>

   <strong>
    Build the CoE on five pillars:
   </strong>
   (1) single chart of accounts and master data; (2) standard close calendar and ledger discipline; (3) documented controls and maker-checker everywhere; (4) technology that does the work, not the people; (5) service-level agreements with the brands.

   </strong>
   Sign off financial statements per entity, ensure a 5-working-day close cycle, lead the close calendar across all functions.
  </li>
