I've owned month-end close, journal entries, bank and balance-sheet reconciliations, variance investigation, and final GL validation for Summit Dental Service.

At FTR Hospitality, I supported restaurant accounting and automated daily sales reporting, reducing manual data entry by approximately 20%. I also improved payroll workflows and controls, reducing payroll-related errors by approximately 30%.

Across U.S., UK, Australian, New Zealand, and Philippine business environments, I've led close activities, budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, and process improvements. I'm a CPA and CMA who traces transactions from source records to financial statements and resolves issues before reporting deadlines.
