What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned accounting professional with over 13 years of experience providing exceptional financial leadership and support across various organizations. My expertise lies in financial analysis, reporting, and compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). I pride myself on my ability to collaborate effectively across departments, driving efficiency and revenue generation.
In my most recent role as a Staff Accountant at the Regenstrief Institute, I managed financial activities, including journal entries and accounts receivable, while ensuring compliance with financial reporting standards. My tenure as a Fiscal Officer at the Mobile County Commission allowed me to increase financial efficiency by 15% through strategic planning and budgeting. I have a proven track record of overseeing grant funding and facilitating budget adjustments for multiple departments.
With a strong educational background, including an MBA in Finance and various accounting certifications, I am committed to continuous professional development. I am currently seeking part-time and remote opportunities where I can leverage my skills in financial management and contribute to organizational success.
