Accounting and Finance Specialist at Maquette Virtuelle Inc; shortened month-end close from two weeks to 10 days using AI-assisted analysis.

Message

At Maquette Virtuelle Inc, I managed the complete accounting cycle, including payroll for 30 employees, tax filings, and financial reporting. I shortened the month-end close from two weeks to 10 days while decreasing errors and audit issues.

I used AI-assisted analysis to improve sales, budget, cash flow, and forecast reporting worksheets. Earlier, at Kalman Samuels & Ass. Q. C. Inc., I managed trust accounts in compliance with Barreau du Québec regulations and successfully passed regular audits.

Across legal, consulting, nonprofit, and corporate environments, I’ve worked in full-cycle accounting, payroll, financial reporting, and budgeting. I’ve also trained new employees and supported financial work for organizations including McGill University, the Royal Victoria Foundation, and Canada Health Infoway.
