What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, encourages collaboration, and values process improvement in finance.

I am a detail-oriented accounting professional with over five years of progressive experience in SaaS and tech-driven environments. My expertise lies in supporting general ledger operations, month-end close, accounts receivable and payable, and ensuring audit readiness. I have a proven ability to manage global financial processes and streamline reconciliations while working cross-functionally with Finance, Product, and Engineering teams.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a passion for automation and continuous improvement, bringing structure to fast-moving finance operations. I am proficient in various ERP systems, including NetSuite and QuickBooks, and possess advanced Excel skills. My recent role as a Financial Coordinator involved preparing journal entries, performing multi-currency bank reconciliations, and collaborating with HR on payroll tax reporting. I am committed to delivering high-quality financial documentation and supporting compliance efforts.

My dedication to excellence has been recognized with awards such as Employee of the Month at Deel. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience in a challenging accounting role that allows me to contribute to financial process improvements and support organizational growth.
