• Analyze revenue, expenses, margins, and other financial or operating measures to identify performance drivers.
• Communicate financial findings in concise business language, including risks, limitations, and items requiring follow-up.

• Foundational understanding of financial statements, budgeting, forecasting, and basic accounting principles.
