What I'm looking for

I am seeking accounting roles where I can apply AP/AR and reconciliation skills, support audits, grow toward CPA qualification, and work in a collaborative, process-oriented finance team.

I am a detail-oriented accounting student on the CPA track with hands-on experience in accounts payable, reconciliations, and audit support at higher-education and museum finance offices. I have a proven record of processing high invoice volumes, improving vendor communications, and preparing accurate month-end and year-end entries using systems like Financial Edge and CUNYFirst.

I combine technical proficiency in Excel, Salesforce, and accounting systems with leadership experience coordinating campus events and representing my college to donors and partners. I deliver accurate financial records, efficient invoice resolution, and dependable support during audits, while balancing part-time work and internship commitments.
