What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for professional growth and challenges in financial analysis and leadership.

As a Certified Public Accountant with a strong foundation in both accounting and information systems, I have developed a robust skill set that allows me to excel in the financial sector. My journey began at Le Moyne College, where I earned both my Bachelor of Science in Accounting and a Master of Science in Information Systems, graduating in May 2020. Since then, I have built a successful career, currently serving as a Senior Accountant at Grassi & Company CPAs, PC, where I supervise audit teams and ensure compliance with GAAP and PCAOB standards.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to lead teams and mentor junior staff, fostering an environment of growth and learning. My experience spans various industries, including manufacturing, distribution, and construction, where I have successfully managed client relationships and delivered valuable insights through detailed financial analysis. I take pride in my ability to communicate complex findings clearly and effectively, ensuring that clients are informed and confident in their financial decisions.
