• Sound financial-modeling fundamentals and solid grasp of core accounting and finance principles (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, unit economics)
• Ability to communicate financial information clearly to non-finance audiences and build collaborative working relationships
• Proactive, adaptable, and detail-oriented with ability to manage multiple deadlines
• Curious, coachable, and comfortable learning new financial systems and tools with interest in automating manual processes
