My experience also includes a part-time role as an Accountant at Panko Construction Company, where I honed my financial analysis and reporting skills. I am adept at utilizing statistical tools such as SPSS and have a solid understanding of GAAP and IFRS. My ability to communicate effectively and work collaboratively has been key to my success in various roles, and I am eager to contribute to a dynamic organization that values growth and innovation.
