- Tool experience: you’re fluent in tools like Stripe, QuickBooks, Google Sheets, Notion, and HubSpot (or similar!) and can troubleshoot without needing a how-to guide
- Analytical thinking & problem solving: when revenue doesn’t reconcile or a report looks off, you break it down logically and spot where things went wrong

- Ownership mindset: you’re excited by the chance to take real ownership - when you see something that could work better, you run with it and make a visible impact
- Continuous improvement mindset: you enjoy bringing structure to messy workflows, untangling unclear handoffs, and making things run smoother for everyone involved
- Bonus – automation & systems: maybe you’ve set up a Zapier flow, helped roll out a new finance tool, or figured out how to streamline cross-border invoices.
