What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my extensive accounting experience while contributing to a dynamic team focused on financial excellence.

With over 26 years of experience in accounting and financial management, I have honed my skills in various aspects of bookkeeping, tax preparation, and financial reporting. As the owner and treasurer of 7063513 Manitoba Ltd., I successfully set up small businesses from inception, ensuring accurate financial records and compliance with tax regulations. My expertise in Quickbooks has allowed me to train others in accounting software, enhancing their capabilities and efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have managed full-cycle accounts payable and receivable, prepared financial statements, and conducted year-end reporting for outside accountants. My experience spans various sectors, including non-profit organizations and consulting firms, where I have developed a strong understanding of cash management and inter-departmental liaison. I am passionate about helping businesses thrive through effective financial practices and am committed to delivering high-quality results.
