• Proven track record of improving financial performance, streamlining operations, and advising executive teams.
• Excellent technological capabilities: advanced Excel, financial systems (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero), AI, dashboards/BI tools.
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills—able to present complex financial information to non‑finance executives.
• Ability to work independently in a remote/fractional consulting structure, managing multiple engagements and priorities. Also able to work as part of a team.
