What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply multi-entity reconciliation and compliance expertise in a mission-driven organization, with clear processes, collaborative teams, and growth opportunities.

I am an accounting professional with progressive responsibility in housing and higher education environments, focused on maintaining accurate financial records across multiple entities and supporting audits with thorough reconciliations and documentation.

I bring consistent judgment, strong month-end and multi-entity reconciliation experience, and a commitment to organizational mission-driven work—having managed bank reconciliations, receivables, payables, tax processing, and compliance across community-based organizations.
