What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth and allows me to leverage my tax expertise in a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated Senior Tax Accountant with a Master of Accountancy and extensive experience in tax compliance and strategy. Currently, I work at DLT Solutions, where I lead the end-to-end indirect tax compliance process across North America, ensuring timely filings in over 40 jurisdictions. My role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance tax logic in billing workflows, which has significantly reduced manual overrides and increased rate accuracy.

Prior to my current position, I served as an Indirect Tax Analyst at Ravago Americas, where I prepared and filed sales and use tax returns across multiple jurisdictions, achieving zero-penalty audit outcomes. My analytical skills have allowed me to conduct regular reconciliations and variance analysis, which led to a 15% reduction in overpayments annually. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to support organizations in navigating complex tax landscapes.
