What I'm looking for

I am seeking accounting or finance roles where I can apply my reconciliation, reporting, and payroll expertise, work in a collaborative culture, support accurate financial controls, and grow into expanded finance responsibilities.

I am a detail-oriented accounting and finance professional with a BA (Hons) in Accountancy and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Accounting (Canada). I bring over seven years of progressive experience across public and private sectors, with strengths in financial reporting, reconciliations, payroll, and regulatory compliance.

I have hands-on experience preparing month-end reconciliations, processing journal entries, administering payroll and AP/AR, and supporting year-end working papers and financial statements. I am known for accuracy, adaptability, and strong IT and data analysis skills.

My technical toolkit includes Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Publisher), Acumatica, Sage, QuickBooks, Vadim, SQL and HTML, and I have administered programs such as vehicle fleet insurance and submitted GST/PST and Statistics Canada reports. I have supported audits, budget preparation, and internal controls as an internal auditor and finance intern.

I am a collaborative team player who builds strong client relationships and provides reliable coverage across accounting functions. I bring multilingual ability (English native/fluent, Italian upper-intermediate, French intermediate) and a proven ability to manage multiple priorities while delivering timely, high-quality results.
