What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue leading and improving accounting operations, financial reporting, reconciliations, and audit support in a role where I can build reliable processes and support decision-making.

I've built accounting operations from the ground up at United National Maintenance, creating the monthly close process, financial statement structure, and internal reporting templates for a US-based service company.

I lead the accounting function and grew it from a one-person operation into a three-person department. I prepare monthly P&L and balance sheet statements and recurring reporting dashboards.

Through consulting engagements at Riskape, I've supported clients including Azadea, Mandaloun Management, and Gentle Mob with financial reporting, audit support, fraud risk assessments, inventory verification, and accounting clean-up. I've also supervised junior team members and improved monthly reporting templates to make recurring reports clearer and faster to compile.

My experience also includes multi-branch AR reporting and reconciliations at Wooden Bakery, as well as financial statements, audit support, bookkeeping, pricing, and invoice verification. I'm a CMA Candidate with strong Excel and ERP experience.
