What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a seasoned accountant with over 10 years of experience in the freight forwarding, insurance, and tech industries. My expertise lies in full-cycle payroll, lease accounting, and multi-jurisdictional tax compliance. I have a proven track record of managing financial reporting, internal controls (SOX), and streamlining close processes, which has significantly improved operational efficiency.

Currently, I serve as a Senior/Lead Accountant at Axis Communications Inc., where I mentor junior accountants and oversee payroll for over 800 employees. I have successfully automated general ledger reconciliations and enhanced month-end close processes, ensuring compliance with GAAP standards. My previous role as a National Financial Analyst at Kuehne + Nagel Canada allowed me to manage daily financial operations and collaborate with IT to automate financial processes, further showcasing my ability to drive improvements in accuracy and efficiency.
