• Able to read a P&L, identify inefficiencies, and communicate insights clearly to a non-finance audience
• Experience with Quick Books Online, Toast, Square, or Margin Edge preferred
• Comfortable owning client-facing relationships and juggling competing priorities across a portfolio – managing timelines, stakeholders, and deliverables with careful attention to detail
