• Systems Fluency: Hands-on experience with a modern ERP (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or similar) and adjacent billing, expense, and AP automation tools.

• Process & Detail: Excellent attention to detail and process discipline; you take pride in clean ledgers, tight reconciliations, and well-documented workpapers.
