What I'm looking for

I am a dedicated accountant with over 13 years of experience in public accountancy, specializing in general accounting, payroll, sales taxes, budgeting, and tax preparation. My proficiency in both English and Spanish allows me to communicate effectively with a diverse clientele. I am well-versed in various accounting software, including QuickBooks and TaxWise, which enhances my efficiency in managing financial records and compliance.

Throughout my career, I have held significant roles such as Accountant/Office Manager at BlinkContractors LLC, where I managed all office operations, including payroll, compliance forms, and project budgeting. My previous experience as a Tax Accountant at Martin Rosenwasser, CPA, PC, involved maintaining full charge of accounting functions, preparing financial statements, and assisting clients with audits. I pride myself on my strong analytical skills and ability to multitask, ensuring that I deliver accurate and timely financial services.
