What I'm looking for
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.
