-   Ensure alignment on reporting timelines and expectations.

### **Must-Have Experience & Skills**

### **Non-Negotiables**

-   5+ years of experience in accounting or finance.
-   Strong experience with accrual accounting / GAAP financials (not just cash-based accounting).
-   Experience managing multi-entity, multi-location, or multi-segment businesses.
-   Proficiency in QuickBooks Online (and/or Desktop/Enterprise).
-   Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, Pivot Tables, Data Tables).
-   Experience processing payroll using systems such as Gusto (or similar).
-   Experience with U.S. sales tax filings.

### **Nice-to-Haves**
