What I'm looking for

I seek an accounting role focused on payroll and reconciliations within a collaborative team, with opportunities to expand bookkeeping and audit responsibilities while advancing my technical accounting skills.

I am a detail-oriented junior accountant focused on accurate payroll processing, reconciliations, and day-to-day bookkeeping. I prioritize precision and timely financial operations to support organizational stability.

At my current role I execute biweekly payroll runs for a workforce of over 1,000 employees using ADP, administer monthly American Express and gas card reconciliations, and organize travel stipends, reimbursements, and bonuses to ensure proper compensation and compliance.

Previously, I managed daily bank balances across 13 account entities, performed monthly bank reconciliations, entered POS data into QuickBooks, and coordinated ACH, loan, insurance, rent, and payroll transactions while covering higher-level accounting duties as needed.

I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Psychology and a Professional Bookkeeping Certificate, supplemented by Coursera coursework in bookkeeping and financial analysis. I am collaborative, process-driven, and eager to grow my accounting expertise in audit support, reconciliations, and payroll operations.
