What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my accounting expertise while contributing to a company's financial success.

I am a dedicated accounting professional with over 15 years of experience in financial management and consultancy. My journey in the field began as an Accounts Clerk at Barbados Light & Power Co. Ltd, where I honed my skills in reconciliation and customer relations. Over the years, I have progressed through various roles, including Senior Accounts Clerk and Office Administrator, ultimately becoming a Consultant Accountant. My expertise lies in preparing financial statements, managing payroll, and conducting audits, which has allowed me to provide exceptional service to my clients.

Currently, I am pursuing my Master’s in Forensic Accounting to further enhance my skills and knowledge in the field. I have a proven track record of implementing and revising accounting procedures, managing cash positions, and supervising accounting staff. My experience at reputable companies such as Harris Paints and PVH Group Inc has equipped me with the ability to prepare comprehensive financial reports and contribute to strategic decision-making processes.

As I continue to grow professionally, I am committed to delivering the best service possible and helping organizations achieve their financial goals. My goal is to leverage my extensive background in accounting to provide valuable insights and support to companies looking to optimize their financial operations.
