What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that values efficiency and offers career advancement opportunities.

I am an analytical accounting professional with over 5 years of experience managing accounts payable and accounts receivable. My expertise lies in financial reporting and accounting principles, which I have honed through various roles in reputable organizations. I am passionate about efficiency and thrive in environments that challenge my skills.

In my most recent position as a Staff Accountant at Ana Luisa, I oversaw the Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Statements, maintained the company general ledger, and prepared detailed schedules for the monthly budget process. My ability to deliver comprehensive financial reports and manage cash flow has been instrumental in supporting the financial health of the companies I have worked for.

With a strong educational background, including a Bachelor's degree in Financial Forensics and an Associate's degree in Accounting, I am committed to continuous professional development. I am now seeking a challenging position that values efficiency and offers opportunities for career advancement.
