What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers growth opportunities and values teamwork.

I am a well-rounded professional with over 10 years of work experience in the Accounting department. I have a strong focus on achieving goals and am very detail-oriented with extensive experience in managing financial records. My skills in accounts reconciliation and tax return preparation have been honed through years of dedicated service.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated exceptional professionalism while working under pressure to attain both long-term and short-term goals. I have a proven record of enhancing team performance, notably during the implementation of a new HRplus payroll system. My keen attention to detail and ability to work effectively in both team settings and independently have consistently allowed me to deliver accurate and timely results.
