• Open to AI-augmented workflows: willing to adopt AI tools that streamline repetitive tasks like data entry, payment follow-ups, or reconciliation, freeing up time for higher-value problem-solving
• Experience automating finance system
• Strong attention to detail; you catch errors before they become problems

• Organized and able to manage multiple invoices and deadlines at once
• Experience with accounting or billing systems (ERP, legal billing tools, etc.)
• Solid Excel skills and confidence working with data
