What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values efficiency and offers opportunities for growth.

With over 15 years of experience in accounting and accounts payable, I am a high-performing professional known for my resourcefulness and strong problem-solving skills. I excel in managing high volumes of transactions, including complex payables involving international currencies. My analytical mindset and attention to detail enable me to consistently meet deadlines, even in high-pressure environments.

Throughout my career, I have successfully reversed backlogs and improved efficiencies in various roles. At Oshawa Clinic Group, I ensure timely processing of invoices and maintain vendor accounts, while my previous experience at Fortress Technology involved managing both accounts payable and receivable. My contributions have included developing an Excel-based Purchase Order Tracker and successfully transferring vendors to a new SAP system.

I am proficient in several accounting software applications, including SAP, SAGE, and QuickBooks, and I pride myself on my ability to communicate professionally with suppliers, vendors, and auditors. I am committed to maintaining confidentiality and accuracy in all financial matters.
