  • Support general day-to-day needs to keep everything running smoothly

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
