What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for growth and challenges in accounting and tax services.

I am a dedicated accounting professional with a Bachelor of Business Administration, majoring in Accounting, from Universidad Metropolitana of Puerto Rico. My career spans over a decade, where I have honed my skills in ensuring the financial health of individuals and businesses. Currently, I work at Star Power Systems, LLC, where I manage a variety of accounting tasks including property tax returns, sales tax returns, and the preparation of BOI reports. My commitment to providing quality service is reflected in my thorough understanding of accounting principles, tax law, and financial regulations.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have equipped me with a diverse skill set. From my time as a Senior Tax Professional at H&R Block to my role as an Accountant and Tax Coordinator at Outsourcing Solutions, I have consistently delivered exceptional results. I pride myself on my problem-solving abilities and my capacity to navigate the complexities of the financial world, ensuring that my clients receive the best possible advice and support.
