• Advanced Excel skills (formulas, lookups, pivot tables, conditional formatting, etc.).
   
• Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.
   
• Ability to work quickly and effectively under tight deadlines.
   
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
   

Preferred Qualifications
