What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values accuracy and efficiency, with opportunities for professional growth.

I am a detail-oriented and results-driven accountant with over 10 years of experience in various accounting functions, including accounts payable, cost accounting, and financial reporting. My career has been marked by a commitment to accuracy and efficiency, as I have successfully partnered with cross-functional teams to drive cost-saving initiatives and improve financial processes.

In my most recent role as an Accountant II at ITW Food Equipment Group, I processed accounts payable for multiple business units, led cost savings initiatives, and supported labor costing analysis. My previous experience as a Senior Staff Accountant at Repacorp, Inc. allowed me to hone my skills in cost accounting and inventory analysis, ensuring proper cost allocations and compliance during external audits. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a focus on Accounting from DeVry University, where I graduated with a GPA of 3.8 and made the Dean’s List multiple semesters.
