Desire a new accounting puzzle to solve as soon the current puzzle is at 90%. Love janitorial accounting (a good clean up and facelift of the books) and you’re not afraid to use a different kind of mop, broom, or vacuum - with or without the instruction manualThrive in a fast-paced environmentDon't need a roadmap for every new system. You like assembling furniture without the manual yet you use the manual as a reference when neededMeet NC staff and teammates where they are at and help them get over the finish line. If they trip, you help them cross the finish lineWear the hat of an accounting professor and explain accounting to NC staff and teammates in chewable bitesLike small-business scrappiness backed by big-company rigor and internal control standardsHave a high frustration tolerance. You know you’ll figure out the puzzle soon. Constant technological and process changes don’t phase you. You don’t skip a beat.
