Aspiring accountant with expertise in bookkeeping and payroll management.
What I'm looking for
I am an aspiring accountant currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in accounting at Kennesaw State University, with an expected graduation in May 2026. My journey in the accounting field has equipped me with practical experience in accounts payable and receivable, bookkeeping, and payroll accounting. I am eager to leverage my skills and knowledge to contribute effectively to an accounting team.
In my recent role as an Accounts Payable/Receivable Accountant at Reliable Paper/Faucette Ventures, I successfully managed the transfer of invoices into QuickBooks and drafted invoices for customers. My attention to detail allowed me to identify and rectify discrepancies amounting to over $990,000 across multiple businesses, showcasing my commitment to accuracy and efficiency in financial management.
Currently, I serve as a Payroll Accountant at ITM Toner, where I process employee payments while ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations. My proficiency in QuickBooks and Sage, along with my strong analytical skills using Microsoft Excel, positions me as a valuable asset to any accounting team.
