What I'm looking for

I seek a senior accounting or controller role that values strong GAAP reporting, system improvements, mentorship, and collaborative culture to drive timely, accurate financials.

I am a Certified Public Accountant with extensive experience leading month-end close, financial statement preparation, audits, and accounting system implementations for organizations across education and professional services. I consistently deliver timely, GAAP-compliant financial statements, manage AR/AP and payroll cycles, and mentor accounting staff while serving as a trusted liaison to stakeholders and auditors.

I have led audits for middle-market companies, coordinated successful system implementations (including chart of accounts design and data migration), and improved collection and reconciliation processes to strengthen financial controls. I bring practical technical skills in QuickBooks Online, ADP, Veracross and advanced Excel to streamline operations and support strategic decision-making.
