What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated staff accountant with a BA in Accounting from Brooklyn College, bringing over two years of professional experience in accounting roles. Currently, I work at Progress Software, where I excel in creating Excel reports, managing general ledger entries, and performing bank reconciliations. My attention to detail ensures accuracy in financial reporting and compliance with accounting standards.

Previously, I served as an accounts payable specialist at Boyd Corporation, where I honed my skills in data analysis using Excel, including pivot tables and VLOOKUPs. My role involved generating invoices and reconciling month-end statements, which enhanced my ability to manage financial transactions efficiently. My experience at Air Charter Service further solidified my accounting expertise, where I was responsible for invoice generation, payment allocation, and daily bank reconciliations.
