What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote, entry-level finance work where I can strengthen my financial markets and financial analysis skills while supporting operations with accuracy, organization, and discretion.

I’m a bilingual professional with an economics background and hands-on experience supporting day-to-day business operations and administrative processes. As Executive Assistant to the CEO, I managed executive calendars and meetings, acted as a point of contact between leadership and staff, handled confidential business information with discretion, and supported payroll verification and office expense tracking to the Accounting Department.

I’ve also built a strong foundation in financial coordination and compliance through roles in accounting and project support—assisting with billing, preparing documentation for corporate audits, processing sales tax filings and regulatory payments, and verifying annual tax compliance for multiple corporate clients during tax season. I’m currently developing skills in financial markets and strengthening my toolkit through certifications and courses in Investment and Trading, Financial Analysis, Data Analysis, Project Management, and Microeconomics, and I’m seeking remote entry-level opportunities in finance.
