What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values accuracy and efficiency, with opportunities for professional growth.

I am a detail-oriented and adaptable accounting and payroll professional with extensive experience supporting non-profits, startups, and corporate clients. My proficiency in streamlining operations and maintaining accuracy in financial reporting has been a cornerstone of my career. I am trusted for my analytical thinking and process improvements, which have significantly enhanced collaborative client service across various sectors, including healthcare, legal, construction, and technology.

In my recent role as a Finance/HR Associate at Impact Fund, I accurately processed accounts payable and receivable, managed grant fund distributions, and generated analytical reports using QuickBooks and Excel. My previous experience as a Bookkeeper for Hip Hop for Change allowed me to reconcile multiple bank accounts and support payroll processes, ensuring accuracy across funding sources. I have also successfully managed payroll for over 200 employees in my role as a Payroll Analyst, demonstrating my ability to handle complex payroll systems and compliance requirements.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my commitment to excellence in financial management and client service. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience to contribute to a dynamic team that values accuracy, efficiency, and collaboration.
