What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging opportunity where I can utilize my financial expertise and contribute to organizational excellence.

I am a motivated financial director with over 15 years of experience in managing financial operations and ensuring the efficient allocation of resources. My journey began with a strong educational foundation, having earned an AA degree and currently pursuing a BA in Accounting. Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to reconcile transactions, process payroll, and generate detailed financial reports using Quickbooks.

In my current role at Found Life Church and Little Hands Learning Center, I oversee daily, weekly, and monthly reconciliations, ensuring accuracy in all financial transactions. My previous experiences at VUE Church and Sanctuary Church have further honed my skills in budget management and financial reporting. I take pride in my resourcefulness and organizational skills, which allow me to contribute effectively to any team I am part of.
