Lead the conversion of local GAAP financials to IFRS for group reporting, including adjustment entries and reconciliations.
Develop, document, and roll out group-wide accounting policies with a strong focus on SaaS topics.
Maintain clear, audit-ready documentation of accounting judgments and technical positions.
