What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and allows me to apply my accounting skills in a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated accounting student at Baruch College, pursuing my Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Accounting and a minor in Mathematics. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in various accounting principles, including financial accounting and taxation. I am currently enhancing my skills through coursework in auditing, which complements my practical experience.

During my internship at Wei, Wei & Co., LLP, I contributed to the preparation of over 50 individual and business tax returns, utilizing Intuit Lacerte. I played a key role in assisting clients during IRS audits and collaborated with senior accountants to resolve complex tax issues. My experience in a fast-paced environment has honed my ability to work under pressure while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail.

In addition to my internship, I have gained valuable experience in customer service and clerical roles, which have strengthened my communication and organizational skills. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate their tax obligations and am eager to further develop my expertise in the accounting field.
