What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values innovation in finance.

I am a finance professional with over five years of experience in audit and financial reporting. My expertise lies in building advanced Excel models for acquisition analyses and real estate pro formas, as well as leveraging AI to automate data workflows, significantly boosting efficiency. I possess strong knowledge of GAAP and have a proven track record of identifying internal control weaknesses while delivering actionable financial insights.

In my most recent role as a Division Controller at Vita Plus Corporation, I prepared and distributed monthly financial statements, executed the month-end close process for multiple locations, and developed AI-driven workflow improvements that saved four hours per week. My experience as a Senior Assurance Consultant involved designing and executing audit procedures for complex engagements, where I led international audit teams and effectively communicated findings to management and audit partners.

I am passionate about fostering collaborative relationships with CFOs and Controllers to facilitate efficient communication and information gathering, which leads to effective audit execution. I have also created comprehensive financial models to support real estate investment decisions and launched an AI image recognition SaaS application for specialized product analyses.
