Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, are crucial for conveying financial information to non-financial stakeholders. Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to achieve shared objectives is also essential. Flexibility to adapt to changing priorities, deadlines, and business needs in a fast-paced environment is vital. Commitment to upholding ethical standards, confidentiality, and integrity in financial practices and decision-making is expected.
