I build accurate accounting, close, reporting, and SOX compliance processes across complex organizations.

I've supported Amazon Renewable Energy by validating production and booking accruals for more than 100 renewable energy sites, including international sites, in accordance with ESG guidelines. I also built an automated dashboard for international reporting that accounted for local reporting requirements and taxes.

At Amazon Internal Controls, I led DevOps teams toward SOX compliance for 24 applications generating more than $50M each. I partnered with the Internal Controls manager to refine requirements, update the compliance portal, and document application issues resulting from back-end updates.

Previously at MoxiWorks, I created a complete chart of accounts for a NetSuite implementation, led month-end close activities, supported external audits, and prepared monthly financial statements and fluctuation analysis. At Robert Half and Active Interest Media, I reconciled permanent accounts, analyzed inventory obsolescence, managed fixed assets, prepared P&Ls, and accounted for subscription and deferred revenue.

I've built my accounting career through hands-on operational accounting, reconciliations, account analysis, financial reporting, system implementations, and process improvement.
