  • Experienced in accounting and finance operations within a project-based, service-oriented environment (company size: $5M-$10M revenue range preferred).
  • Collaborative partner comfortable working cross-functionally across departments and teams.
  • Equally strong as both an analyst (interpreting trends and performance metrics) and a reporter (ensuring compliance and accuracy).
