Accounting Analyst at Journal 2 Journal LLC, reconciling bank activity and analyzing Stripe and Wix.com sales for compliance reporting.

United States

Message

At Journal 2 Journal LLC, I reconcile bank activity in QuickBooks and maintain accounting records for a single-owner business. I also process invoices and support sales tax remittance, budget tracking, and inventory accounting.

I analyze sales data from Stripe and Wix.com to prepare Arlington compliance reporting and support leasing company requirements.

At Valero Houston Refinery, I evaluated contractor performance, compliance, headcount, and timekeeping data using Power BI, TRACK, and SAP. I also supported Accounts Payable invoice and aging research, vendor funding issue resolution, and month-end accruals.

Earlier at Valero Energy Corporation, I advanced through three accounting roles, processing and analyzing invoices and preparing GL adjustments and reversals. At Parent Child Incorporated, I consolidated compliance review results into government reports and communicated audit findings and corrective next steps.
