Design the reporting framework and management information required by ownership and the Executive Committee.
Implement effective internal controls across hotel, golf, procurement, payroll, inventory, cash management and other relevant areas.
Lead the selection, implementation and readiness of finance and operational systems.
Provide clear financial analysis, scenarios and business cases to support operational and commercial decisions.
Coordinate audits, tax matters, statutory reporting and relationships with external advisors.
Partner with the General Manager and area leaders to connect financial discipline with operational performance.
