• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to effectively communicate with team members and clients.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team, following instructions and seeking guidance when needed.
• Strong knowledge of accounting standards, regulations, and compliance requirements, which includes but not limited to accurate journal entries.
