Accountant at Armanino LLP managing month-end close for four nonprofit clients and preparing audit-ready schedules.

At Armanino LLP, I own month-end close for a portfolio of four nonprofit clients, handling journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and grant and restricted fund accounting. I’m each client’s primary accounting contact and prepare audit-ready schedules and supporting documentation.

Before Armanino, I worked as a Senior External Auditor at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and a Staff External Auditor at KPMG, performing IFRS-based audit procedures for multinational and local clients. At Universidad Americana, I evaluated internal controls and balance sheet accounts and communicated findings and process improvement recommendations.

I also assisted with individual, corporate, partnership, and nonprofit tax returns as a Tax Associate Intern at Roth & Co., LLP. My accounting toolkit includes QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, SAP, and advanced Excel, alongside experience with U.S. GAAP and IFRS.
