What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an accounting-focused role where I can manage payroll, AP/AR, reconciliations, reporting, and month-end processes while supporting finance leadership and internal or external stakeholders.

At Colliers Engineering & Design, I process accounts and incoming payments, prepare invoices and deposits, manage fixed assets and accruals, and support month-end close.

Previously at Stamar Packaging, I managed payroll, AP/AR, bank reconciliations, ACH and wire payments, journal entries, aging reports, and Microsoft Dynamics workflows.

My background also includes staff accounting and payroll roles with Hyatt, Two Roads Hospitality, and Kimpton Hotels. I bring hands-on experience resolving billing issues, reconciling financial records, supporting audits, and communicating clearly with clients, vendors, guests, and leadership.
