What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values accuracy and efficiency, offers opportunities for professional growth, and fosters a collaborative work environment.

I am a results-oriented Staff Accountant and Bookkeeper with over 20 years of experience in diverse sectors including healthcare, retail, and hospitality. My extensive background has equipped me with a proven track record in managing full-cycle accounting, reconciling high-volume accounts, and driving process improvements that enhance accuracy and efficiency. I thrive in remote environments and excel at providing actionable financial insights to support cross-functional teams and leadership.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed end-to-end bookkeeping for multiple clients, improved month-end close timelines by 20% through automation, and reduced audit findings by 30%. My commitment to continuous professional development is evident in my engagement with advanced Excel courses and leadership training. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in GAAP compliance, financial reporting, and process optimization to contribute to organizational success.
