What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, encourages collaboration, and values innovation.

I am a highly skilled and adaptable Accounting Associate with over 5 years of experience in providing comprehensive financial management, accounting, and administration support. My proven ability to thrive in remote, multi-timezone environments has enabled me to manage multiple clients and accounting functions simultaneously. I am currently advancing my knowledge through ACCA certification, which complements my proficiency in GAAP, IFRS, QuickBooks, Data Pro, and various cloud-based accounting software.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated expertise in analyzing financial statements, conducting month-end and year-end close processes, and implementing efficiency-enhancing improvements. As a leader, I have successfully managed remote accounting teams across the US, Jamaica, Philippines, and Mexico, ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting. My commitment to process optimization and exceptional communication skills have empowered clients to make informed financial decisions while enhancing team collaboration across global teams.
