  • Exceptional communication and cross-functional influence skills, with the ability to explain technical accounting risks and recommendations clearly to finance and non-finance leaders alike
  • Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-paced environments where priorities shift and success requires strategic judgment, practical decision-making, hands-on execution, and disciplined follow-through
  • A bias toward action and continuous improvement, with practical interest and judgment in using AI, automation, and systems-enabled workflows to improve accounting quality, controls, and scalability
