Financial Oversight & Insights

Act as an early warning system for financial risks or changes

Process Ownership

Take full ownership of financial workflows end-to-end
Operate independently without the need for constant oversight or follow-ups

Industry Exposure (Preferred): Experience in a fast-paced agency or service-based environment is advantageous
Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in accounting software (e.g., Xero) and Excel/Google Sheets
