• Create, enhance, and maintain ad hoc financial reports and dashboards to support leadership requests and emerging business needs.

• Expert‑level Excel skills (tested during interview) including formulas, lookups, data transformation, pivot tables, linking files, building templates, and troubleshooting.
• Proven ability to manage and analyze large data sets while maintaining extreme attention to detail.
• Strong ability to independently structure problems, think critically, and create efficient analytical solutions.
• Ability to produce ad hoc reporting quickly and accurately without relying on automated systems.
• Strong communication skills—capable of “telling the story” behind the numbers for senior leadership.
• Experience with ERP systems, master data structures, charts of accounts, and financial reporting tools.
• Comfort working in a fast‑paced, high‑urgency environment, especially during weeks 1–2 of close.
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to work within a flat, small, highly hands‑on team.
