What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values accuracy in financial practices.

I am an accomplished accounting professional with a strong background in full cycle bookkeeping and financial management. My experience spans various roles, including Full Charge Bookkeeper at Holden Int. Inc, where I managed comprehensive accounting processes, maintained accurate financial records, and implemented efficient systems for document management. I take pride in my ability to collaborate with vendors to negotiate favorable payment terms, resulting in significant cost savings for my employer.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my expertise in financial reporting, account reconciliations, and payroll processing. My previous roles at Lunovus and Spartan Invest have further honed my skills in managing accounts payable and receivable, ensuring timely collections, and preparing detailed financial reports. I am proficient in various accounting software, including Microsoft Dynamics GP and QuickBooks, which allows me to streamline processes and enhance productivity.

As a Certified Bookkeeper, I am committed to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and confidentiality in all financial transactions. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience to contribute to a dynamic team that values precision and integrity in financial management.
