What I'm looking for
As an accounting professional with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Pennsylvania State University, I have developed a strong foundation in financial reporting, reconciliations, and process optimization. My experience spans various roles, including my current position as an Associate Accountant at Delta Dental Insurance Company, where I prepare and post monthly journal entries, compile financial reports for the Board of Directors, and manage general ledger reconciliations.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to streamline processes and enhance accuracy. At The Trusted Bookkeeper, I successfully led a financial cleanup initiative for new clients, ensuring their financial records were accurate and up-to-date. My proficiency in QuickBooks and advanced Excel functions has allowed me to deliver tailored financial reports and support strategic decision-making for my clients.
I am known for my proactive approach to problem-solving and my commitment to maintaining high standards of accuracy and efficiency in fast-paced environments. I am excited to continue growing in my accounting career and contributing to organizations that value precision and integrity in financial management.
