CMA-certified accounting professional driving accurate month-end close.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented accounting professional with an MBA in Finance and over six years of hands-on experience in month-end close, journal entries, reconciliations, and audit support.
At Bon Secours Mercy Health I managed key month-end close activities for a hospital entity, processed 40–50 journal entries monthly, reconciled ledgers and bank transactions, and proactively delivered variance analysis and financial insights to CFOs.
I supported an ERP transition from Lawson to Workday, updated JE templates, and collaborated with cross-functional teams to improve reporting accuracy and streamline close processes while maintaining GAAP compliance and audit-ready documentation.
Earlier roles include Accountant/System Analyst work supporting audits, investment and gift account reconciliations, and a long-term commitment to coaching collegiate student-athletes that has strengthened my leadership and mentoring abilities.
