What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my accounting expertise while fostering a collaborative and growth-oriented environment.

I am a dedicated accounting professional with a strong background in tax preparation and financial management. With a Master of Business Administration and extensive experience in both individual and small business tax returns, I have honed my skills in managing complex financial statements and budgets. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to maintain a 3.30 GPA while working full-time, demonstrating my strong work ethic and time management skills.

As the owner of Absolute Tax & Accounting LLC, I have successfully managed payroll and bookkeeping for small businesses, while also training new staff and overseeing project management. My previous roles at Maxam North America have equipped me with the knowledge to handle foreign exchange transactions, reconcile intercompany balances, and assist in yearly audits. I thrive in environments that challenge me to grow and expand my expertise, and I am passionate about providing exceptional service to my clients.
