What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an accounting position where I can use my degree, apply my passion for numbers, and contribute through accurate financial processing and reporting.

I'm currently a Transaction Specialist at JP Morgan Chase, preparing payment batches, processing corporate checks and ACH transactions, and validating images using iTRAN, IBML, OPEX 7200, and OPEX 150 equipment.

At SGA Youth and Family Services, I supported HR operations while managing accounting functions for three entities, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, internal controls, budget preparation, and fixed asset records. I also finalized ACH procedures and used Excel VLOOKUPs and PivotTables.

My accounting experience includes reconciling financial records, maintaining ledgers in QuickBooks, preparing financial statements and journal entries, analyzing inventory, and supporting monthly close activities.
