What I'm looking for

I'm looking for accounting and finance work where I can deliver accurate financial reporting, strengthen accounting operations and controls, support U.S. CPA firm engagements, and contribute useful insights for management decision-making.

I'm currently supporting a U.S.-based CPA firm through Remote Raven, preparing and finalizing compiled financial statements for homeowners' associations. I review trial balances, prepare adjusting and reclassifying entries, reconcile balance-sheet accounts, update financial statement notes, and work with reviewers to bring engagements to issuance.

At Seven Restaurants Ltd., I managed finance operations for a multi-branch hospitality business, including budgeting, payroll for more than 80 staff, cash and bank reconciliations, statutory filings, management reporting, internal controls, and external audit coordination.

My background also includes bookkeeping, accounts payable and receivable, inventory accounting, payroll, and audit support. I use Excel, QuickBooks Online, Xero, Odoo, CCH ProSystem fx Engagement, and CCH Axcess to deliver accurate, timely financial information.
