Experienced account and finance specialist with a focus on project control.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced account and finance specialist with a strong background in project program control, particularly as a budget analyst and project accountant. My expertise encompasses general accounting, inventory management, forecasting, budgeting, reconciliation, and ensuring compliance with GAAP controls. I pride myself on my ability to manage complex financial analyses and reporting, which has been instrumental in supporting project success.
Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have honed my skills in financial management. At DB Sterlin Consultants, I oversee budget analysis, vendor contract reviews, and financial reporting. My previous experience at Upholding’s Property Management involved month-end close procedures and coordinating audits, while my role at Proviso Leyden Council allowed me to maintain general ledgers and assist with payroll analysis. I am committed to continuous improvement and have developed SOPs to enhance workflow efficiency.
With a solid educational foundation, including a B.Sc. in Accounting and certifications as a Financial Accountant and Consultant, I am well-equipped to contribute to any organization. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive financial performance and support strategic initiatives.
