What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior accounting or operations role where I can apply tax expertise, project and contract management, and process improvements in a collaborative, compliance-focused organization.

I am an experienced accountant and operations manager with decades of cross-industry experience in finance, tax, and practice operations.

I have managed accounting operations across healthcare, government contracting, legal, and construction sectors, leading payroll, accounts reconciliation, budgeting, and month‑ and year‑end closes. I prepare tax returns, assist with tax resolution and coordinate audits and compliance activities.

I excel at contract and project management, pricing analysis, vendor and inventory management, and implementing process improvements that increase accuracy and efficiency. I am proficient with a broad financial and ERP toolset including QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Pro, NetSuite, Yardi, SAP Concur, Xero, Bill.com, Unanet, Microsoft Dynamics GP, Microsoft BC, and Deltek Cost Point. I bring strong interpersonal skills and experience in employee hiring, training, and quality assurance.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in accounting and IRS Enrolled Agent (Taxation) credentials and I am dedicated to delivering reliable financial reporting and practical solutions. I seek roles where I can apply my tax, finance, and operations expertise to support organizational growth and ensure compliance.
