• Manage several assignments at once by adjusting priorities based on business needs and direction from team leadership.

• Maintain up-to-date project documentation and status records within the designated project management tools.

• Complete special analyses and time-sensitive requests while meeting deadlines with minimal supervision.

• Support strong client service by delivering dependable work, communicating professionally, and helping maintain positive client relationships.

• Contribute to continuous improvement by following company standards, adopting relevant technologies, and promoting accuracy in all deliverables.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a closely related discipline.

• At least 2-3 years of relevant experience, ideally within healthcare, accounting, consulting, or legal services environments.

• Demonstrated ability to perform financial analysis, financial modeling, variance analysis, and ad hoc analytical work with a high degree of accuracy.

• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel, along with working knowledge of Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and SharePoint.

• Ability to manage multiple priorities effectively while working under tight timelines and maintaining attention to detail.
