What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated Sr. Staff Accountant with extensive experience in financial analysis and accounting practices. Over the years, I have honed my skills in revenue analysis, account reconciliations, and managing complex billing processes. My tenure at AGS, LLC has equipped me with the ability to prepare and present comprehensive financial reports, ensuring that upper management has the insights needed for strategic decision-making.

Throughout my career, I have successfully negotiated short sales and managed accounts receivable for various organizations, including Aristocrat and Scientific Games. My strong analytical skills have allowed me to effectively resolve customer disputes and maintain accurate financial records. I pride myself on my attention to detail and my commitment to following SOX controls during audits, which has consistently contributed to the financial integrity of the companies I have worked for.

With a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting and certifications as a Bookkeeper, I am well-prepared to tackle the challenges of the accounting field. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to contribute to a dynamic team and drive financial success for my next employer.
