What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead multi-entity accounting and financial reporting, strengthen controls, support audits, and drive process improvements in a collaborative, compliance-focused environment.

I am a CPA-qualified Senior Accountant with 13+ years managing full-cycle accounting, multi-entity operations, and financial reporting across international and remote environments. I deliver audit-ready documentation, clean audit outcomes, and improved month-end processes while maintaining >98% reconciliation accuracy.

I have extensive hands-on experience with Xero, QuickBooks Online, Odoo, and Sage 300, and practical exposure to IFRS and U.S. small-business accounting. I support leadership with timely financial statements, cash flow visibility, tax and statutory compliance, and process improvements that shorten close timelines and strengthen internal controls.
