  • Innovative Problem Solver : Enthusiastic about continuous learning and applying new software, processes, and strategies to improve efficiency.
  • Committed to Growth : A passion for mentoring others, maintaining professional development, and growing within the firm.
  • Certification : CPA or EA certification required , with a strong commitment to obtaining it promptly if not already obtained.
