What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an accounting role where I can lead month-end close, reconciliations, and bookkeeping, drive process improvements, and grow within a collaborative finance team.

I am an accounting professional with progressive experience supporting month-end close, reconciliations, journal entries, payroll, and day-to-day finance operations. I focus on accurate record-keeping and timely financial reporting to support business decisions.

In my current role as an Accounting Associate I play an integral role in the monthly financial close by preparing account reconciliations, analyzing data, and preparing journal entries. I also support A/P and expense reporting, vendor correspondence, and assist with employee on/off-boarding and payroll for clients.

Previously, I worked as a Junior Fund Accountant performing routine duties and data analysis for mutual funds and resolving exceptions, and as an Accounting Assistant preparing income statement items for tax filing and maintaining bookkeeping processes. I have hands-on experience with QuickBooks, Kuali, and community tax preparation through VITA.

I hold a B.S. in Managerial Economics with a minor in Accounting from the University of California, Davis, and maintain certifications as a QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and a CTEC Registered Tax Preparer. I am detail-oriented, reliable, and eager to contribute to process improvements and a collaborative finance team.
