What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values accuracy and collaboration, offering opportunities for professional growth.

I am a detail-oriented and analytical accounting professional with over 15 years of experience in the finance field. As the owner of my own small business accounting services, I have provided comprehensive accounting support to various industries, ensuring accuracy and compliance in financial reporting and tax preparation. My dedication to maintaining clean financial records and offering strategic guidance has helped my clients make informed decisions that drive their success.

In my previous role as a Senior Treasury Accountant at National Financial Partners, I led cash management operations and was responsible for reconciling high-value bank accounts. My ability to collaborate on cost-efficiency projects and provide training on banking systems has been instrumental in improving treasury operations. I take pride in my meticulous approach to financial analysis and my commitment to delivering accurate documentation for external audits.

With a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Public Accounting, I am well-equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in the accounting and finance sectors. I am eager to leverage my expertise in a new role where I can contribute to organizational success through accuracy, efficiency, and collaboration.
