What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a detail-driven accounting role where I can own tax preparation and financial reporting, partner with clients, and apply costing and operational insights to improve accuracy, compliance, and efficiency.

I am a detail-oriented Staff Accountant and Navy veteran with a foundation in financial reporting, tax preparation, and operational efficiency. I prepare and finalize complex personal, business, and estate/trust tax returns, manage year-end processes (bookkeeping, payroll management, and sales tax filing), and conduct on-site audits to verify accuracy and internal controls.

I bring a track record of building costing programs and managing high-volume operations, strengthened by my hospitality leadership background. I’ve overseen e-commerce and store operations through Shopify and led production and inventory workflows as a Head Baker and Program Consultant, translating data into improved profit margins, product projections, and operational consistency under pressure.
