What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute my multi-entity accounting, financial reporting, reconciliation, variance-analysis, systems, and process-improvement experience in a collaborative organization with complex end-to-end accounting responsibilities.

I most recently managed the complete accounting cycle for 13 interconnected companies at Zantingh Direct Inc., handling intercompany transactions, reconciliations, financial reporting, budgeting, cash flow, and year-end support.

Across nearly 20 years with BDO Canada and Hazlitt Steeves Harris Dunn LLP, I supported public-accounting professionals and clients with WIP analysis, invoicing, accounts receivable, bookkeeping, compilation reporting, confidential records, and accounting-systems support.

I use advanced Excel, VBA automation, ERP and accounting systems to investigate variances, improve workflows, train users, and strengthen controls. My background also includes SAP, project cost control, payroll software implementation, and business operations.
