Detail-oriented accountant with 7+ years in month-end close, reporting, and SOX compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented accountant with over seven years of experience executing month-end and quarter-end close processes, preparing journal entries, workpapers, and account reconciliations. I focus on accuracy and efficiency across accounting functions and consistently deliver timely financial reporting.
My background includes detailed flux and trend analysis across cash, prepaid expenses, accrued liabilities, and revenue, plus hands-on experience supporting fixed asset recognition, capitalization, and disposal. I have actively supported annual audits and SOX variance reporting.
I have managed accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, bank reconciliations, budgets, and general ledger entries for multiple clients, and led year-end 1099 processing and billing/revenue processes to ensure compliance and improved cash application.
I hold a B.S. in Accounting and IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistant certification, and I bring strong ERP and advanced Excel skills to help organizations improve financial controls, reporting accuracy, and process efficiency.
