What I'm looking for

I am looking for part-time or entry-level accounting roles to apply my knowledge and grow professionally.

I am a detail-oriented and multilingual accounting student currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration – Accounting from Western Governors University, with an expected graduation in October 2025. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in financial and managerial accounting, taxation, and business law, complemented by hands-on experience in bookkeeping, payroll assistance, and financial reporting.

Throughout my time as a Bookkeeper at Sagawa Express in Tokyo, I honed my skills in maintaining financial records, supporting payroll operations, and preparing income and expense reports. I take pride in my ability to improve financial visibility and planning through meticulous recordkeeping. My goal is to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) within the next two years, and I am eager to begin applying my academic knowledge in a professional setting as soon as possible.
