• Proficiency in QuickBooks — not just data entry, but a genuine understanding of COA design, class-based tracking, and entity structure

• A demonstrated track record of winning; we never stop at "just enough"
• An insatiable eagerness to continuously learn and to be coached; we are lifelong learners and always make ourselves available to others to teach us something new
• A possession of strong entrepreneurial spirit; we have a burning passion for building something great out of nothing
