What I'm looking for

I am seeking accounting or audit roles where I can apply auditing and bookkeeping expertise, work collaboratively on client engagements, and grow toward CPA/CIA certification.

I am a detail-oriented bookkeeper and auditor with two years of professional experience executing auditing and accounting tasks, including bank reconciliations, month-end close, payroll accounting, and tax return preparation. I hold strong knowledge of GAAS and GAAP, experience with regulatory frameworks (SEC, IIA, AICPA), and am actively pursuing CPA and CIA exam preparation.

I have supported audit planning and testing, performed regulatory compliance audits (EPA/CARB), and onboarded and maintained client bookkeeping across industries using QuickBooks, Accounting CS, Fixed Asset CS, and numerous SaaS tools. I collaborate well in teams, prioritize tight deliverables, and consistently deliver accurate, timely financial work while recommending process improvements and control enhancements.
