What I'm looking for

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

I am a motivated accounting professional with over 7 years of experience in various accounting functions, including Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Financial Reporting, and Account Reconciliations. My background has equipped me with strong problem-solving skills and a keen attention to detail, allowing me to excel in fast-paced environments. I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively and work collaboratively with team members and department leaders to achieve organizational goals.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed financial transactions, reconciled accounts, and ensured compliance with GAAP regulations. My experience includes working as a Regional Accounting Specialist at the Salvation Army, where I streamlined invoice processing and supported month-end close activities. I have also held positions as a Staff Accountant and Accounting Specialist, where I honed my skills in financial analysis and reporting. I am committed to exceeding expectations and continuously improving processes to enhance efficiency.
