Ia Tigishvili
@iatigishvili
I lead IFRS reporting, tax compliance, and full-cycle accounting for energy and consulting businesses.
What I'm looking for
I lead accounting and financial operations for Georgia Urban Energy’s hydropower generation companies, preparing IFRS financial statements, managing tax compliance, cash-flow planning, forecasting, and audit coordination.
Previously, I managed the Georgian branch accounting function for SMEC International and directed accounting, tax, cash, and financial reporting at Enka Renewables for the Namakhvani hydropower project. I also delivered budget reporting, payroll, banking, tax declarations, and ERP-based accounting for the Bechtel & Enka Joint Venture’s BP SCPX Project.
Across more than 20 years in energy, construction, consulting, and outsourced accounting, I’ve strengthened financial controls, supported management decisions, trained accounting staff, and worked closely with auditors, banks, tax authorities, and international stakeholders.
