At Ironwood Pharmaceutical, I prepared monthly close journal entries, reconciliations, and analysis for cash, fixed assets, prepaids, and accruals. I also supported invoice processing and assisted interim auditors with year-end SOX testing requests.

At Adams Brown CPA and M&L CPA’s, I conducted month-end close processes and prepared state and federal tax returns for individuals and organizations. I also resolved IRS notices and prepared sales and payroll tax filings.

At KPMG Mexico, I performed financial statement audits and reviews under NIF, IFRS, and US GAAP, and reviewed internal controls for Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. At Los Viveros, I implemented accounting procedures and controls that improved financial reporting accuracy.
