Experienced accountant with a focus on financial services and compliance.
What I'm looking for
As a CPA candidate with over 7 years of experience in financial services and project accounting, I specialize in bank reconciliations, journal entries, tax remittances, and audit support. My hands-on experience includes supporting audits, managing daily transactions, and preparing government remittances. I have a proven track record of optimizing ERP systems for insurance and construction accounting, which has significantly enhanced financial compliance and operational efficiency.
Throughout my career, I have provided full-cycle accounting services to over 1,500 individuals and 700 small businesses, ensuring their financial health through meticulous payroll processing and tax preparation. My role as a Cost Accountant at 6 Digit Construction LLC allowed me to reduce cost overruns by nearly 15% and improve cost forecasting accuracy by almost 30%. I thrive in environments that challenge my analytical skills and allow me to contribute to data-driven decision-making.
I am passionate about leveraging my expertise in financial modeling and data analysis to drive business success. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, as evidenced by my pursuit of a CPA designation and an MBA in Business Analytics. I look forward to bringing my skills and experience to a dynamic team where I can make a meaningful impact.
