What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth and challenges in financial analysis.

I am a dedicated Senior Accountant with a strong background in financial reporting and analysis. Currently, I manage the monthly, quarterly, and year-end close processes at The Amherst Group, where I prepare journal entries, account reconciliations, and ad-hoc financial reports. My organizational skills ensure data accuracy while adhering to strict deadlines, and I thrive in collaborative environments that enhance operational efficiency.

Previously, I worked at HCA Healthcare, where I honed my skills in journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and internal control reviews. My experience includes preparing annual tax filings and utilizing financial planning and budget preparation in corporate settings. I have a solid foundation in GAAP compliance and advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, which I leverage for data manipulation and reporting.
