What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values teamwork.

I am a dedicated financial controller with extensive experience in accounting and finance. Currently, I lead the accounting function at Clariti Cloud Inc., where I successfully transitioned the accounting operations in-house and built a high-performance team. My commitment to fostering a culture of transparency and support has consistently earned exceptional feedback from my colleagues and superiors.

Throughout my career, I have implemented critical financial systems, such as Sage Intacct ERP, and developed innovative solutions like a contract value calculator to enhance operational efficiency. My expertise in managing cash flow, preparing financial statements, and leading audits has been instrumental in driving financial success for the organizations I've worked with. I take pride in my ability to collaborate across departments, ensuring accurate financial reporting and compliance with regulatory requirements.

With a strong foundation in accounting principles and a passion for continuous improvement, I am eager to leverage my skills to contribute to an organization that values integrity, teamwork, and innovation.
