What I'm looking for

I seek an accounting or analytics role where I can apply SQL, Python, and Excel to improve financial reporting, streamline payroll/bookkeeping, and support data-driven decisions in a collaborative growth-oriented team.

I am an accounting graduate with a strong foundation in data analysis and practical bookkeeping experience across small business and firm environments. I combine rigorous academic training with applied skills in SQL, Python, Excel, and accounting systems to deliver accurate financial records and actionable insights.

In professional roles I have processed payroll for multi-state entities, prepared financial reports identifying variances, and spearheaded collections that recovered over $1 million in outstanding accounts receivable. I have interned in tax preparation, supported corporate and individual returns, and performed daily bookkeeping and invoice processing for small businesses.

I hold industry certificates including Google Data Analytics and IBM Data Science and Analytics credentials, and I bring attention to detail, bilingual communication (Cantonese/English), and a practical problem-solving mindset to roles that bridge accounting and data analytics.
