• Tax & statutory: Ensure compliance with Egyptian accounting standards and tax requirements (e-invoicing/e-receipt, VAT, withholding, stamp duty, and payroll/social-insurance filings); manage external audits.
• Operations finance: Partner with Culinary/F&B on recipe costing, inventory, and cost of sales; support Rooms on pricing/leakage controls; drive margin improvement projects.
• Treasury & working capital: Manage banking, cash-flow forecasting, collections/credit control, supplier terms, and payment runs.
• Systems & data: Own finance systems and the chart of accounts; ensure clean interfaces between PMS/POS, inventory, and ERP; elevate reporting quality and KPI dashboards.
• Leadership: Coach a high-performing finance team; provide clear guidance to HODs; present insights and recommendations at EXCOM/owner reviews.

• Proven track record improving controls, reducing cost of sales, and optimizing working capital.
