Continuously improve reporting packages, templates, and the underlying FP&A toolset (e.g., Cube or similar FP&A software) to increase automation and reduce manual effort. Cash Flow Forecasting & Liquidity Maintain and update the rolling short-term cash flow forecast (e.g., 13-week cash forecast), incorporating actual bank activity and updated collection/payment assumptions. Monitor actual cash flows against forecast, investigate variances, and flag emerging liquidity risks or opportunities to the VP Finance.
