- Support monthly, quarterly, and annual report preparation
- Track and analyze key financial metrics tied to brokerage activity and franchise performance

- Communicative — you translate numbers into clear, actionable information for non-finance stakeholders
- A team player — you roll up your sleeves and collaborate across departments
