What I'm looking for

I seek an accounting role where I can lead cloud accounting implementations, optimize processes, contribute to accurate reporting, and grow toward CPA certification.

I am an accountant with international education and multi-year experience in bookkeeping, accounts receivable, accounting advisory and implementing cloud-based accounting systems. I have completed six courses toward the CPA designation and hold degrees in International Business and Management and a BSc in Management (Economics).

In recent roles I led cloud accounting implementations, managed month-end and year-end close, reconciled accounts, prepared payroll and tax filings, and produced financial analysis and reports to support decision-making. I am proficient with MS Office, Excel, Sage, Simply Accounting, SAP, QuickBooks and familiar with payroll systems, merchant account analysis and Canadian tax requirements.

I work well independently or within teams, adapt to varied shifts, and communicate effectively in English, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian and Azeri. I bring strong attention to detail, process-improvement mindset and practical experience across Canadian and international accounting practices.
