Technical Skills: Expert proficiency in QuickBooks Online and advanced Excel (Pivot Tables, Trend Analysis, and Burn Rate tracking). Compliance & Reporting: Proven experience with Certified Payroll requirements for government contracts. Proficiency in prevailing wage reporting platforms such as LCPtracker, Elation Systems, or similar is a major plus.
