What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an accounting role where I can own month-end close, GAAP reporting, and internal controls, while advancing my CPA work through budgeting, variance analysis, and audit-ready financial processes.

I’m a CPA Candidate (Texas) with 6+ years of accounting experience supporting month-end close, general ledger accounting, account reconciliations, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and audit preparation. I’m especially strong in preparing GAAP-aligned financial statements, performing variance analysis, and identifying improvements to strengthen internal controls.

In my most recent role as an Accountant, I manage full-cycle month-end close (journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and financial statement preparation) and deliver monthly balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow reporting. I also develop and monitor annual operating budgets exceeding $2 million and analyze revenue and expenses to identify cost-saving opportunities exceeding $150,000, while ensuring audit readiness through tighter procedures.
