What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote part-time accounting work—bookkeeping, staff accountant, or fractional accounting—where I can own GAAP reporting, month-end close, reconciliations, and process improvements while supporting leadership with budgeting and forecasting.

I’m an Accounting Controller and CPA Candidate with 9+ years of progressive accounting experience spanning financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, revenue accounting, payroll, accounts payable, reconciliations, and multi-entity accounting. I lead accounting operations supporting approximately $500 million in annual revenue, while keeping everything GAAP-compliant and audit-ready.

I supervise a five-member accounting team covering accounts payable, payroll, revenue processing, reconciliations, and month-end close. I prepare GAAP-compliant financial statements and executive reporting packages, and I manage budgeting and forecasting activities that directly support executive decision-making.

I’ve also built strong foundations through full-cycle accounting as a Senior Accountant, including journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and general ledger maintenance. As I complete my Master of Science in Accounting, I’m seeking remote part-time accounting, bookkeeping, staff accountant, or fractional accounting opportunities where I can improve financial processes, strengthen internal controls, and drive reliable reporting.
