In my current role as a Financial Accountant at Optiven Group, I prepare comprehensive financial reports and maintain accurate financial records using Microsoft Dynamics 365. My experience includes managing accounts payable and receivable, assisting with budget preparation, and ensuring compliance with financial standards. I have a strong background in data analysis and financial modeling, which allows me to provide valuable insights for informed decision-making.

Beyond my professional experience, I have actively participated in community service as the Treasurer for the City Table Tennis Club, where I managed the club's finances and ensured adherence to budgetary constraints.
