What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance leadership role where I can drive ERP/accounting improvements, deliver accurate reporting and forecasts, and strengthen compliance and internal controls—partnering closely with operations to streamline AP/AR, budgeting, and audit readiness.

I’m a finance leader focused on financial accuracy, compliance, and decision-ready reporting. Most recently as a Finance Manager, I led a migration from legacy accounting software to a new ERP/accounting platform, improving reporting efficiency and strengthening financial data accuracy.

I’ve managed AP/AR processes, reconciliations, financial reporting, and budgeting, while partnering with operations and project teams to improve billing workflows and internal controls. I also lead finance and compliance work as a Controller and Assistant Director of Finance—supporting GAAP and FASB adherence, running annual operating and capital budget preparation, and ensuring audit readiness through strong ledger transparency and governance.
