Germain Ciprian

I am a finance and accounting professional with 8+ years of experience in regulated environments, specializing in trust (IOLTA) accounting, tax compliance, payroll operations, and GAAP-aligned financial reporting. I have led high-volume reconciliations for 20+ trust and operating accounts, prepared federal and state tax returns for corporate and individual clients, and managed full-cycle payroll while maintaining audit-ready documentation.

I focus on process improvement and data integrity, having automated billing and reporting workflows using Power Query, QuickBooks Online, and Clio to reduce manual entry and shorten monthly close cycles. I bring a strong foundation in risk assessment, internal controls, vendor management, and stakeholder communication, and I partner effectively with external CPAs to remediate control gaps and ensure compliance.
