@neiljohncabanganan
Results-driven accountant specializing in US accounts payable, financial reporting, and multi-state sales tax compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven accountant with a foundation in audit and current specialization in US Accounting, financial reporting, and multi-state sales tax compliance. I maintain accurate, timely, and compliant financial records while supporting process improvements across teams.
In my current role I manage full-cycle accounts payable for US clients, processing over 400 invoices monthly with 98% accuracy, review AR processes and I file multi-state (TX, WA) sales tax returns to meet deadlines and audit standards. I reconcile accounts and prepare supporting schedules during month-end closings to strengthen management reporting.
My audit background includes SMSF, internal, and external audit engagements where I maintained comprehensive working papers, ensured regulatory compliance, and supported resolution of compliance queries. I’ve conducted internal audits, identified control weaknesses, and recommended process improvements that improved accountability and reporting accuracy.
I am proficient with QuickBooks Online, Xero, YayPay, Bill.com, Ramp, Asset Tiger, and TriNet, and I leverage Excel (pivot tables, lookups, reconciliations) to streamline workflows. I hold certifications including QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and Xero Advisor (L1) and I collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to enhance finance–operations communication.
