What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values process improvement and offers opportunities for leadership and growth.

I am a dedicated finance professional with over 20 years of experience in accounting and financial management. My career has been marked by a commitment to improving processes and procedures, ensuring accuracy in financial reporting, and managing departmental operations effectively. As a Finance Director at Raindrops Enterprises, I successfully managed accounts receivable and payable, reconciled bank statements, and developed budgets that aligned with organizational goals.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to handle multiple projects while consistently meeting deadlines. My experience as an Accounting Manager at Amerikooler allowed me to refine my skills in payroll management, financial reporting, and intercompany transactions. I take pride in my ability to negotiate supplier prices, ensuring cost savings while maintaining quality, and I have actively participated in audit and tax functions, coordinating with external firms to ensure compliance and accuracy.

With a strong foundation in accounting software and processes, I am proficient in tools such as QuickBooks, Sage 100, Net suite, and Zoho Books. I am passionate about leveraging my extensive knowledge to contribute to a dynamic team and drive financial success for the organization.
