  • Oversee expense management and monitor budget adherence.
  • Possible light collections follow-up with vendors or partners.
  • Process Improvements
  • Identify and implement efficiencies in financial workflows.

  • Ensure accurate, timely, and reliable reporting across systems.
  • Hard Skills

  • Proven accounting and bookkeeping expertise (QuickBooks required).
  • Strong experience in financial reporting and strategic analysis.
  • Proficiency in budgeting, forecasting, and expense management.
  • Vendor management and procurement negotiation skills.
  • Familiarity with U.S. financial and tax norms (independent contractor level).
  • Soft Skills

  • Strong communicator for internal collaboration and vendor discussions.
  • High-level critical thinking, problem-solving, and proactivity.
  • Deadline-driven, detail-oriented, and highly organized.
  • Trustworthy and discreet, with strong confidentiality standards.
  • Experience

  • 7-10 years of professional experience in accounting / finance.
  • CPA qualification preferred, but not required.
  • Prior experience in both bookkeeping and financial strategy roles.
  • Future potential to grow into CFO-level as the business scales.
