- Translate findings into clearly defined opportunities to support prioritisation for Continuous Improvement, automation and wider Finance transformation teams
- Support process governance, quality reviews and change activity so documentation remains current, consistent and embedded across Finance
- Challenge constructively where processes are unclear, inconsistent or creating unnecessary risk or rework
