What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance/accounting leadership role where I can manage accounting and payables, ensure tax and regulatory compliance, strengthen controls and audit readiness, and improve forecasting, liquidity, and reporting accuracy.

I’m an Accounting Manager and Payables Analyst with 15+ years of experience in financial operations, inventory control, and regulatory compliance across retail and service-based industries. I focus on building accurate reporting systems, strengthening controls, and staying deadline-driven.

At Exelon Ltd., I led a company-wide migration to QuickBooks Online, achieving 100% reporting consistency and reducing manual entry errors by 25%. I file monthly tax returns using Microsoft Office templates and QuickBooks data exports, reaching 98% accuracy and submitting all filings before deadlines.

I also develop Excel forecasting models for annual planning, improving financial projection accuracy by ~30%. I manage and reconcile inventory entries across POS systems and QuickBooks with 100% item accuracy, and I implemented document control protocols in Microsoft Office to reduce data retrieval time by 40% while supporting audit readiness and compliance.

Earlier, at SureSave Wholesale Ltd., I processed 150+ financial transactions monthly in QuickBooks with zero audit discrepancies, oversaw payroll execution for 30+ employees with 100% on-time completion, and remained 100% compliant with tax obligations across cycles. I’ve also improved reconciliation accuracy, supported receivables recovery, and reinforced fraud-prevention controls through daily bank/credit card reconciliation and QuickBooks analytics.
