What I'm looking for

I seek accounting roles in Canada with strong compliance culture, opportunities for process improvement, collaboration with leadership, and clear paths for professional growth.

I am a detail-oriented accounting and finance professional with over 15 years' experience across education, hospitality, oil & gas, and public sectors, delivering accurate financial reporting, budgeting, payroll administration, and compliance under IFRS and ASPE frameworks. I have a strong track record improving internal controls, supporting audits, and producing actionable management accounts that inform strategic decisions.

I am motivated to contribute my expertise to organizations operating within the Canadian financial environment, with experience in tax preparation, cash-flow management, variance analysis, and process improvement using tools such as Microsoft Excel, Sage, and QuickBooks. I have also delivered training on taxation and financial governance for schools and supported cross-functional teams to strengthen financial sustainability.
