What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

I am an accomplished accounting professional with extensive experience in financial operations and QuickBooks expertise. Over the years, I have honed my skills in bookkeeping, payroll management, and financial reporting, ensuring compliance with regulations while delivering exceptional service to clients. My journey began with a Bachelor of Commerce from Ryerson University, followed by an Ontario College Advanced Diploma in Accounting from Seneca College, and certifications in QuickBooks that have equipped me with the tools to excel in my field.

Currently, I serve as a QuickBooks Advanced ProAdvisor at Tax Ace, where I set up and customize QuickBooks for various businesses, provide advanced bookkeeping services, and deliver tailored training to clients. My previous roles, including Accounting and Financial Operations Specialist at Triple Play Sports and Payroll Manager at ChildHope Foundation Canada, have further solidified my ability to manage complex financial tasks and support strategic decision-making. I take pride in my meticulous attention to detail and my commitment to maintaining accurate financial records, which has consistently resulted in improved operational efficiency and compliance.
