What I'm looking for

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

I am a dedicated accounting professional with over 15 years of experience in the administrative sector, specializing in internal and external audits. My journey has equipped me with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and extensive knowledge of financial accounting software, including CG1, SIIGO, GP QuickBooks, and Simply Accounting. I pride myself on my attention to detail and my ability to adapt to changing environments, ensuring that I deliver high-quality results consistently.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including General Manager at Deville Coffee, where I managed operations and staff training, and Financial Assistant at Owens Landing, where I handled invoicing and bank reconciliations. My experience as an Internal Auditor in Colombia allowed me to develop and implement effective risk management strategies, resulting in significant improvements in operational controls. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to a dynamic team and drive organizational success.
