Qualifications - Strong background in finance, bookkeeping, or tax (non-negotiable). - Solid understanding of financial data, reconciliations, and reporting structures. - Proven experience working with or setting up QuickBooks (or similar accounting systems). - Ability to understand how financial moving parts connect within a system. - Experience handling financial files and data migration. - Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain financial concepts to non-financial clients. - Strong organisational skills with high attention to detail. - Ability to manage multiple clients/projects simultaneously. Personality & Soft Skills - Strong, confident personality with a professional presence. - Welcoming, approachable, and naturally bubbly in client interactions. - Client-focused with a high level of emotional intelligence. - Ability to take ownership and lead onboarding processes independently. - Problem-solver with a proactive mindset. Preferred Experience - Experience in SaaS implementations or onboarding roles. - Previous exposure to US-based clients or international environments. - Account management or client success experience. - Experience with data migration or system integrations.
