You love to learn, you solve any type of problem that comes your way, and you have the autonomy and analytical and problem solving mindset to figure things out. You are a great communicator and ideally can be leaned on to pull together board decks, and other presentations.

If you currently manage the finance function, and are also exposed to and expected to be a jill or jack of all trades, or a mini-GM, you fit the bill.

You are a right-hand person who has the ability and strategic mindset to grow into a larger role in the company , but who doesn't have a problem with owning the minutia and small admin tasks that come with the territory in a smaller company.
