Senior accountant and budget analyst focused on compliant, efficient financial reporting.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Accountant and Budget Analyst with 24+ years of experience across budget analysis, securities operations, and federal/state grant management. I bring proven expertise in reconciliation, daily NAV calculations, and multi-billion-dollar financial reporting.
Across roles, I’ve strengthened GAAP-compliant accounting through accurate cash flow, balance sheet, and expenditure analysis; I’ve also managed budgeting cycles, variance reporting, and forecasting to support leadership decision-making. I’m recognized for optimizing processes to reduce costs and enhance efficiency, while maintaining strong controls and documentation.
I also excel at collaboration and communication—liaising with veterans, auditors, attorneys, financial institutions, and government agencies to resolve issues and ensure reporting integrity. From VA loan administration to state audit readiness and grant reporting, I consistently translate complex requirements into clear, actionable financial outputs.
