- Corporate Taxation & Statutory Compliance: Oversee direct and indirect tax planning and compliance (Corporate Income Tax, Withholding Taxes, Transfer - Pricing documentation, and Sales & Service Tax).
- Audit & Banking Management: Serve as the primary liaison for external auditors, tax authorities (LHDN), regulatory bodies, and corporate banking partners.
3. Overseas Subsidiaries & China Operations Oversight

- Periodic Overseas Audits: Undertake periodic on-site reviews and operational audits of overseas subsidiaries to inspect records, inventory management, and branch internal controls.
4. Team Leadership & Internal Governance
- Large Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and evaluate a large finance and operational accounting team spanning HQ and plant sites, establishing KPIs and accountability.
