What I'm looking for
I am an accomplished accounting professional with over 11 years of experience, specializing in financial services and consumer lending. My career has been marked by significant roles in both Big Four public accounting and corporate environments, where I have honed my skills in managing month-end close, financial reporting, and process automation. I possess a deep understanding of GAAP, ASC standards, and SOX compliance, which has enabled me to ensure accurate reporting and regulatory adherence throughout my career.
In my most recent role as Director of Accounting at Best Egg, I led strategic process improvements and oversaw the accounting function, ensuring compliance with technical accounting standards. I successfully implemented automation initiatives that streamlined reconciliations and reporting, significantly enhancing efficiency. My ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and external auditors has been instrumental in driving compliance and achieving clean audit reports consistently. I am passionate about optimizing internal controls and fostering a culture of continuous improvement within accounting teams.
