What we’re looking for:

• Highly organized with strong attention to detail
• Reliable, trustworthy, and consistent
• Strong communication skills (written and verbal)
• Able to multitask and stay calm under pressure
• Proactive and able to take initiative without constant direction
• Comfortable handling basic bookkeeping tasks (experience is a plus, but not required)
• Interested in a long-term role with growth potential

Bonus (not required):

• Prior experience supporting an executive or small business owner
• Strong familiarity with bookkeeping or finance
• Comfortable with Google Drive, spreadsheets, and basic systems
