What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values accuracy and compliance, offers opportunities for leadership, and allows me to contribute to strategic financial decision-making.

I am a determined and detail-oriented accounting professional with over 20 years of progressive experience in finance and management. My expertise lies in leading teams and optimizing complex financial operations, ensuring accuracy and compliance in all aspects of financial reporting. I have a proven track record in meticulous reconciliations, payroll administration, and strategic cash flow forecasting, which contributes to data-driven decision-making across multi-entity environments.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in various accounting software and advanced Microsoft Excel analysis. My recent role as a Bookkeeper at FilmFreightCC has allowed me to apply my knowledge in a remote setting, while my previous experience as a Corporate Accounting Manager at Global Business Administrators involved in-house accounting for large private insurance companies. I take pride in my ability to direct and mentor teams, fostering a high-performance environment that has led to significant improvements in departmental efficiency.
