What I'm looking for

I’m eager to join a company where I can build my personal and professional skills within the accounting and finance industry.

As a Staff Accountant, I enter and reconcile accounts receivable invoices, process accounts payable invoices, and help maintain cash and customer records. I also assist with balance sheet reconciliations and adherence to accounting procedures and GAAP.

At Big Banana Group of Companies, Next International, I processed invoices and month-end journals, reconciled accounts, and assisted with monthly management accounts and financial reports. I also compiled and filed ABST returns.

At Dawgen Global, I prepared opening balance tests, vouched expense and revenue accounts, and assisted with audited financial statements. I also teach in the Business Department at Antigua State College.
