What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative culture, and challenges that enhance my accounting expertise.

I am a highly motivated and detail-oriented Professional Accountant with over nine years of experience in maintaining accurate financial records and performing comprehensive account reconciliations. My expertise lies in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), financial reporting, and analysis, where I have consistently demonstrated my ability to manage general ledger entries and prepare financial statements in compliance with regulatory standards.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in optimizing financial processes and implementing effective internal controls. At the International Livestock Research Institute, I maintained a 100% compliance rate with audit and reporting standards, streamlined financial transactions, and enhanced audit preparation. My advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and various financial software has enabled me to automate processes, improve efficiency, and deliver timely financial reports that support informed decision-making.
