  • Partner with Treasury to assess legal entity liquidity and cash generation, identifying potential funding requirements, trapped cash, and implications for capital allocation and treasury risk
  • Perform regular actual-to-forecast and forecast-to-forecast variance analysis by legal entity, identifying key drivers, emerging risks, and potential implications for Global Tax, Treasury, Accounting, and management reporting
  • Establish governance and accountability across Legal Entity Finance Directors and functional teams, ensuring completeness, accuracy, timely submissions, and resolution of forecast risks
  • Provide management with actionable legal entity insights, highlighting forecast changes and emerging risks impacting GlobalTax, Treasury, Accounting, and enterprise financial planning.
