What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for professional growth and challenges in financial management.

With over eleven years of experience in various accounting roles, I have developed a robust skill set that encompasses accounts payable, project accounting, and financial analysis. My journey began as a Financial Analyst at Freddie Mac, where I honed my abilities in reconciling accounts and automating reporting processes. This foundational experience paved the way for my subsequent roles, including Budget Analyst and Project Accountant, where I successfully managed budgets, analyzed financial variances, and collaborated with project teams to identify cost-saving opportunities.

Currently, as an Accounting Manager at Food Allergy Research and Education, I oversee the reconciliation of bank accounts and ensure compliance with GAAP. My responsibilities include preparing financial reports, managing payroll, and supporting the Controller with audits and special projects. I take pride in my attention to detail and my commitment to maintaining the integrity of financial statements. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to drive financial efficiency and support organizational goals.
