What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead accounting, controllership, and FP&A work in a multinational or high-growth environment, partnering closely with leadership to strengthen controls, automate reporting, improve visibility, and support strategic decisions under US GAAP.

I lead accounting and finance operations for a US-based company, owning the monthly close, financial reporting, executive reporting, and US GAAP compliance. I report directly to the CFO and mentor a four-person Finance team across general accounting, payroll, accounts payable, and accounts receivable.

I deliver a 10-day close cycle, lead external audits through completion, and resolve technical accounting matters including ASC 606 revenue recognition. I also coordinate with tax advisors to keep local and national filings accurate and on schedule.

I build reporting packages for leadership, financial models, and real-time dashboards that give leadership clearer visibility into results and operational actions across 20 US states. My Excel, Google Sheets, VBA and finance knowledge aims to reduce manual effort and strengthen controls.

Previously, I prepared US GAAP reporting and led accounting close work for Northstar Financial Consulting Group clients, and spent more than six years at ExxonMobil and Deloitte across receivables, payroll tax, SOX controls and external audit. I bring 12+ years of experience in accounting, controllership, FP&A, and fast paced finance environments.
