What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance/accounting role where I can lead project-based closeouts, strengthen internal controls, and deliver transparent reporting that helps project managers make better decisions.

I bring 12+ years of Finance and Business Administration experience focused on construction accounting, bookkeeping, and financial management in dynamic, project-based environments. In my current role, I lead project reconciliations, expense tracking, and financial closeouts, partnering with project managers to keep billing, invoicing, and reporting timely and accurate.

I’m known for strengthening internal controls and ensuring compliance and transparency, while also mentoring and training junior staff to improve bookkeeping execution. I use QuickBooks Online, JobTread, and CoConstruct daily for project accounting and forecasting, and I’ve built financial systems in large-scale real estate settings—handling accounts payable/receivable, reconciliations, audits, and fiduciary accounts—backed by advanced training including IFRS certification and project management credentials.
