What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role where I can lead fund and grant accounting, drive audit-ready processes, automate reporting, and mentor junior staff within a collaborative, compliance-focused finance team.

I am a results-driven fund and grant accountant with deep expertise in grant accounting, audit readiness, and budget forecasting. I graduated with a BBA and a strong information-systems foundation, and I hold certifications in Google Data Analytics and advanced Excel.

At Lone Star College I oversaw multi‑million dollar institutional and federal grant portfolios, achieving 100% audit compliance and eliminating audit findings through meticulous reconciliations and variance analyses. I built automated reconciliation and reporting tools in Excel and Power BI that reduced month‑end close time and improved real‑time variance detection.

I have led cross‑functional teams and mentored junior accountants while standardizing processes that cut documentation cycles and budget variances substantially. I develop financial models and predictive expense forecasts using SAP, Power BI, SQL, and Excel macros to increase budget accuracy and fund utilization.

I bring strong GAAP knowledge, hands‑on experience with major financial systems (SAP FI/CO, Oracle Financials, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Workday), and a pragmatic focus on process automation, compliance, and actionable financial insight to support mission‑critical programs.
