  • Strong client communication and relationship management skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple engagements and lead cross‑functional teams.
  • Comfortable with ERP, accounting, and BI/reporting systems.
  • Adaptable, resourceful, and able to thrive in ambiguous situations.

  • Exposure to FP&A, budgeting, and forecasting is a plus.
  • Advanced proficiency in MS Excel, ERP, and financial reporting systems.
  • Experience leading cross‑functional teams and managing client relationships.
