What I'm looking for

I seek a remote accounting role where I can apply multi-entity bookkeeping expertise, strengthen internal controls, and contribute to accurate financial reporting and process improvements.

I am a detail-oriented Bookkeeper and Accounting Specialist with over nine years of experience managing financial records for U.S. and Canadian companies. I specialize in QuickBooks Online, full-cycle accounts payable and receivable, reconciliations, and month-end close.

As Assistant to the Controller, I partnered on multi-entity (USD & CAD) accounting operations, managed month-end and year-end close processes, and supported financial reporting and variance analysis. I maintain strong internal controls and prepare executive-level summaries.

In prior roles I handled full-cycle bookkeeping, vendor management, intercompany transactions, audit preparation, and PBC documentation. I contributed to process improvements that enhanced financial reporting accuracy and supported budgeting and forecasting efforts.

I work effectively in remote environments, prioritize accuracy and discretion, and collaborate across departments to ensure compliance and reliable financial workflows.
