What I'm looking for

I seek a role in accounting or administrative support where I can apply bookkeeping and AP/AR skills, work with modern tools, grow professionally, and improve processes within a collaborative team.

I am an accounting assistant and administrative professional with a Bachelor's degree in Banking and Finance and over one year of experience working with accounting teams. I bring hands-on experience in bookkeeping, accounts payable and receivable, invoice processing, and financial record maintenance, and I am results-oriented, detail focused, and comfortable prioritizing under pressure.

I have managed purchasing and vendor relations, supervised staff scheduling and operations in hospitality, and supported remote workflows as a virtual assistant. I am tech-savvy with experience in Slack, Power BI and SAP, fluent in English and Spanish, and motivated to improve processes and adopt new technologies to drive efficiency.
