What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an accounting role where I can own month-end close and financial reporting, strengthen internal controls, and partner with leadership across a multi-entity environment.

I’m a Senior Staff Accountant who leads corporate accounting activities supporting month-end close, including income audit oversight, cash and balance sheet reconciliations, and variance analysis across a multi-entity environment.

I reconcile revenue and cash activity between operational systems and the Oracle General Ledger, then prepare monthly financial analyses for senior finance leadership. I also support the Director of Finance with accurate, timely financial reporting while ensuring strong internal controls and SOP compliance across multiple hotel properties.

Previously, I worked as an Audit Associate and a Staff Accountant, collaborating with audit teams, examining financial information for accuracy and compliance, and improving audit procedures. I bring hands-on experience with general ledger accounting, journal entries, and audit request support, with a strong Excel skill set and ERP experience across Oracle, NetSuite, QuickBooks, and Costpoint.
