• Prepare and review monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements
• Identify cost-saving opportunities through detailed spend analysis
• Manage banking relationships and optimize treasury operations

• A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
• Mid-level mastery of External Audit, validated by people who'd hire you again
• A portfolio or work samples that demonstrate your finance expertise
• A documentation-first attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
• The humility to revise strong opinions when the data argues back
• Comfort with freelance arrangements and the rhythms of a proudly-imperfect workplace
• The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
