Staff Accountant at UpCounting preparing Canadian financial statements and managing tax compliance for US and Canadian clients.

Message

At UpCounting, I prepare financial statements under Canadian accounting standards and manage tax filings for corporate and individual clients with CRA, REQ, and municipal authorities. I also support audits with working papers and account reconciliations.

I streamlined journal entry processes for month-end and year-end closings, and I work in CaseWare to produce accurate financial statements and regulatory reporting.

Previously, as Senior Financial Analyst at RTC Accounting, I managed full-cycle accounting for US-based clients under US GAAP. I maintained general ledger accounts in QuickBooks Online and handled high-volume accounts payable and receivable using Bill.com.

Before accounting, I worked in real estate and business development, including property management at Golden Homes and investment advisory at Agency21 International. That experience informs how I connect financial details with the business decisions behind them.
