What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and allows me to contribute meaningfully to tax compliance and regulatory affairs.

I am a tax professional with eight years of experience in handling a wide range of tax and regulatory compliance responsibilities, particularly in U.S. employment taxes. My MBA degree complements my practical expertise, allowing me to bring a strategic perspective to support organizational goals. I am dedicated to ensuring compliance and accuracy in all tax-related matters.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed employment tax compliance, prepared federal and state payroll tax payments, and resolved discrepancies in employee tax records. My experience includes working with various software tools such as MasterTax and ProSystem fx, which have enhanced my efficiency in processing and managing tax compliance. I am passionate about continuous improvement and have contributed to the development of training materials and guidelines on sales tax issues.

I am seeking a role where I can make a meaningful contribution, continue growing in my career, and gain valuable insights from industry leaders. I thrive in environments that challenge me and allow me to leverage my skills to drive compliance and operational excellence.
