What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can manage payroll and accounting functions, improve processes, support budgeting/audits, and collaborate in a reliable, team-oriented environment.

I am a motivated financial professional with broad experience across banking, payroll, accounting, and mortgage operations, delivering reliable results and strong customer service.

I have led core system conversions, managed payroll for large employee populations, maintained loan pipelines, and supported budget and grant accounting while implementing process improvements and best practices.

I prioritize accuracy, clear communication, and efficiency, and I collaborate with finance leaders to support audits, budgeting, and system administration to drive operational excellence.
