• Review and retrieve banking information, assist with account-related administrative tasks, and help maintain organized financial records.

• Address time-sensitive requests with sound judgment, taking initiative to resolve issues independently whenever possible.

• Partner closely with another executive support team member to learn processes, coordinate priorities, and ensure seamless day-to-day coverage.

• Support expense tracking and property-related or business financial administration using tools such as QuickBooks and Outlook as needed.

• Strong calendar management and travel coordination skills, with the ability to handle multiple moving parts at once.
• Excellent organizational abilities and a consistent track record of following through on deadlines and details.

• Comfort with technology and daily use of Microsoft Outlook in a workplace setting.
• Familiarity with QuickBooks or similar financial software, especially for expense tracking or account support, is preferred.
• A stable work history that reflects reliability, maturity, and long-term contribution in prior positions.
