- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Google sheets (e.g., formulas, pivot tables, data analysis).
- Strong attention to detail and high level of accuracy.
- Good analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Nice-to-have skills or experience:
