- Preparing and analysing weekly and monthly P&L reports to deadline
- Supporting quarterly financial compilation through accounting memos and requirements

- Preparing ad-hoc reporting to support management on positions, structure and strategy
- Contributing to an ongoing system development project within the Metals Trading Group
