A strong eye for detail, sound understanding of accounting principles, and commitment to confidentiality are key to your success. You'll be confident working independently and collaboratively across teams, and capable of managing competing priorities while maintaining accuracy. Excellent communication skills, a proactive approach to problem-solving, and the ability to follow financial processes are essential.
