What I'm looking for

I seek a role focusing on audit-ready accounting, process improvement, and mentoring within a collaborative, compliance-focused team that supports professional growth.

I am a detail-oriented accounting professional with three years of experience in Canadian and U.S. accounting systems, specializing in audit-style ledger reviews, bank reconciliations, multi-currency transactions, and client portfolio management. I have hands-on experience with cloud-based accounting platforms, payroll adjustments, tax compliance, and process improvements that increased accuracy and efficiency.

I mentor junior associates and create training materials to elevate team performance, and I have a proven record of improving compliance metrics (raising 1099 tagging accuracy from 82% to 98%) and exceeding performance targets by up to 130%. I recently relocated to Kyiv and bring international expertise, a strong commitment to audit and quality assurance, and a focus on workflow optimization and client relationship management.
