  • Ensure data integrity, version control, testing, system enhancements, and ongoing optimization of budgeting and forecasting tools.
  • Develop and maintain management reports, dashboards, and financial analytics to support informed decision-making.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders across the College to promote sound financial planning and budgeting practices.
