Detail-oriented accountant with expertise in financial analysis.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented and analytical accountant with a Bachelor’s in Accounting and a recent MBA. My proficiency in advanced Excel functions, financial reporting, and the full MS Office Suite allows me to translate complex data into actionable financial insights that support strategic decision-making. I have been recognized for consistently delivering accurate results under pressure and fostering effective cross-functional collaboration.
Currently, I work as a Compliance Analyst at ACX International, where I conduct in-depth investigations into suspicious cryptocurrency transactions, utilizing blockchain analytics tools to trace digital asset flows. My previous roles as a Sports Trader and Assistant Accountant have equipped me with a strong foundation in financial management and analysis. I am seeking a challenging role that allows me to apply my analytical expertise in driving measurable financial performance.
