What I'm looking for

I am seeking accounting or tax roles where I can apply end-to-end tax preparation, payroll and bookkeeping skills, work with clients, and contribute to process improvements in a collaborative environment.

I am an experienced tax and accounting professional with an MBA in Accounting and a strong academic record from SUNY New Paltz.

I have over a decade of hands-on experience preparing individual tax returns end-to-end and several years managing bookkeeping, payroll, sales tax, reconciliations, and financial reporting for small businesses and firms.

My background includes work with multiple tax software packages (Lacerte, UltraTax, ProConnect, Drake), QuickBooks (desktop and QBO), and other accounting tools; I have supported audits, prepared year-end documents, and helped prepare municipal budgets.

I bring attention to detail, analytical skills, bilingual Spanish ability, a problem-solving mindset, and a strong work ethic to roles that require accuracy, client communication, and meeting deadlines.
