What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

I am a conscientious and detail-oriented finance professional with five years of experience specializing in delivering comprehensive financial support to a diverse clientele, ranging from large companies to independent entrepreneurs. My expertise lies in preparing bank reconciliations, monthly and yearly financial reports, VAT returns filing, statutory deductions, payroll administration, invoice management, and monthly reconciliations of accounts payable and accounts receivable.

Currently, I serve as a Finance Assistant at Besty Tea Brokers, where I have optimized budget management through a data-driven approach, achieving a 20% reduction in unnecessary expenses. I ensure 100% compliance in annual financial report preparation and submission, meeting both federal and state regulations. My previous roles have equipped me with a strong foundation in financial reporting, budget forecasting, and effective communication skills, which I leverage to support business functions and drive operational efficiency.
