Accountant with 5+ years’ experience delivering compliant, data-driven financial reporting.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Accountant with 5+ years of progressive experience in accounting and finance across the health, hospitality, construction, and consulting sectors. I focus on accurate financial records, regulatory compliance, and clear reporting that supports better decision-making.
In my most recent role as a Finance & Admin Assistant at a healthcare facility, I administered annual budgets, collaborated with department heads to monitor expenditures, and ensured 100% compliance with healthcare financial regulations. I also managed comprehensive financial documentation and reporting systems to keep monthly and quarterly requirements on track.
I’ve consistently improved how teams work with data—developing and maintaining financial databases using Microsoft Access to improve data retrieval efficiency by 75%. Across roles, I’ve owned AP & AR processes, GL and account reconciliation, bank reconciliation, and financial analysis—working independently under tight deadlines while maintaining accuracy.
I’m also effective in cross-functional environments, coordinating administrative and logistics support across multiple departments and stakeholders. With training in QuickBooks and Sage 50, strong Microsoft Office skills, and ongoing ICAN involvement, I bring a detail-focused, integrity-first approach to every reporting cycle.
