  • Overseeing the management control process, starting from the structuring of an analytical accounting and reporting model oriented toward budgeting and monitoring of company performance, as well as supporting business strategy;
  • Managing relationships with financial institutions, cash flow (through control of working capital and investment activities), and Net Financial Position (NFP);
  • Preparing financial statements and generating monthly economic, financial, and balance sheet reports;
  • Interacting with the CEO, the Board of Directors, and shareholders to define and share business trends, objectives, and both corporate and departmental budgets;
  • Measuring company performance through reporting tools and analyzing data variances from the budget, implementing corrective actions where applicable and within their scope of responsibility;
  • Ensuring that administrative and accounting processes, procedures, and activities are in place, while also guaranteeing compliance with all administrative, accounting, and tax obligations;
  • Supervising the IT, Procurement, and potentially HR departments;
  • Managing relationships with consulting firms, auditors, and legal advisors.
