What I'm looking for

I seek an accounting role where I can apply bookkeeping and AP/AR skills, use Power BI and SAP, grow professionally, and contribute in a collaborative, process-improvement focused team.

I am an accounting assistant with a Bachelor's degree in Banking and Finance and over one year of experience supporting accounting teams and restaurant financial operations. I combine detail-focused bookkeeping, accounts payable/receivable management, and vendor relations with strong communication and customer-service instincts.

I have managed purchasing, vendor negotiations, staff scheduling, and invoice processing while building dashboards and reports using Power BI and operating in SAP. I thrive in dynamic environments, adopt new technologies quickly, and prioritize clear communication to improve processes and ensure timely financial operations.
