What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own tax return preparation and accounting work end-to-end, collaborate with clients, and keep improving accuracy using QuickBooks, Excel, and CCH ProSystem FX Tax in a detail-driven team.

I’m an accounting professional with a strong tax orientation, built through hands-on work and coursework in financial accounting, auditing, tax research, and business intelligence.

Across internships and my current role, I’ve supported accurate financial operations—from managing wholesale inventory with QuickBooks and preparing checks/deposits in a treasurer’s office to maintaining client financial data in Microsoft Excel and QuickBooks, including balance sheet and P&L audits.

Today, I prepare federal income tax returns (including Forms 1040, 1041, 1065, 1120, and 1120-S) using CCH ProSystem FX Tax, handle full-cycle write-up services (journal entries, payroll processing, and monthly/quarterly statements), and complete Texas franchise and related tax reporting while working directly with clients to resolve documentation issues.
