Data Literacy: Proven experience working with massive, raw datasets and building data-driven financial reports for complex, transaction-heavy businesses. Stakeholder Management: Experience dealing with internal or external stakeholders on a regular basis, effectively communicating financial reports, data definitions, and requirements. Beyond Excel: You are comfortable moving beyond standard spreadsheets to query and analyze data directly (experience with SQL is a plus) Execution & Detail: Exceptional financial reporting and analytical skills. You are accurate, detail-oriented, obsessed with data integrity, and thrive on beating tight regulatory deadlines. Communication: Able to translate complex financial, tax, and regulatory issues into clear, succinct insights for both internal executive stakeholders and external regulators.
