MexicoWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated financial professional with deep experience in tax compliance, financial auditing, and data analysis, focused on delivering measurable client savings and ensuring regulatory adherence.
In BrightTax!, I refined my skills in IRS individual compliance, working with expat clients in federal, state and foreign tax returns. At PriceWaterhouseCoopers, I became a specialist in foreign IRS compliance, preparing and reviewing returns like 5471s and 8858s. While there, I managed multiple concurrent projects, trained new team members, and achieved top utilization and timely deliverables. In Deloitte, I led payroll and local tax audit engagements for Mexican clients.
I combine strong technical skills—including rapid mastery of Alteryx and automation of data transfers—with hands-on tax preparation experience to streamline processes, reduce manual hours, and improve compliance outcomes.
