What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my full-cycle bookkeeping, financial controls, payroll, reconciliation, and process-improvement experience in a high-volume organization where I can support accurate reporting, cost control, and operational efficiency.

I've led full-cycle bookkeeping and financial operations for DoughBox Wood Fired Pizza and Pasta and Compass Hill Hospitality in Toronto, supporting budgeting, P&L tracking, payroll, reconciliations, and month-end close.

At DoughBox, I reduced food costs by 15%, reconciled 400+ weekly transactions, and recruited and trained 10+ employees while maintaining full health, safety, and food-handling compliance.

At Compass Hill, I supported a location generating $400K+ in monthly revenue, identified $20K+ in annual cost savings, reduced waste by 30%, and maintained controls across cash handling, procurement, and inventory.
