What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Senior Accountant, Accounting Lead, or Senior Bookkeeper role where I can lead bookkeeping teams, improve month-end close processes, and deliver accurate financial reporting for growing businesses.

I lead accounting and bookkeeping for OttitInc's portfolio of 18 clients, collectively generating $4.5M–$5.5M in average monthly revenue. I oversee reconciliations, AP and AR, inventory, Shopify sales, e-commerce postings, and monthly financial statements.

I trained and manage six bookkeepers and helped reduce the month-end close cycle from 15 days to 7 working days. Previously, I supported US and Canadian clients at UpCounting and Daybook Financial Group, preparing GAAP-based statements, clearing bookkeeping backlogs, and supporting property-management payment runs.

Across 9+ years in accounting, I've worked with QuickBooks Online, SAP Business ByDesign, AppFolio, Bill.com, A2X, and Bookkeep. I bring hands-on experience in general ledger cleanup, reconciliations, reporting, collections, tax reporting, and accounting process improvement.
