What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an accounting role where I can apply bookkeeping, payroll, reconciliations, reporting, and compliance experience to maintain accurate, transparent financial records and support sound budgeting decisions.

I've managed financial transactions, payroll, tax withholdings, vendor invoices, bank reconciliations, and leadership reporting for Huntington Hills Church of God dba Lifepoint Hickory. My work supports accurate ministry-account allocation, budget monitoring, audit readiness, and compliance.

At Kintetsu World Express - Bahrain, I managed receivables, invoicing, carrier and subcontractor invoice audits, customs payments, bank reconciliations, profit-and-loss statements, and tax and import/export documentation.

My audit background includes designing branch and warehouse audits at Yellowmoon Co. W.L.L. and leading full audit engagements at AGN Al Mezan Bureau. I've assessed risk, tested internal controls, reviewed workpapers, investigated material misstatements and fraud risks, and presented practical recommendations to leadership.

I also bring cost-accounting experience from Concrete Ventures Group, where I tracked materials, utilities, labor, inventory, waste, cost variances, and project costing baselines. Across my accounting work, I focus on accurate records, transparent financial processes, and sound compliance practices.
