What I'm looking for

I seek a finance or remote auditing role where I can apply auditing and accounting expertise, improve controls, and contribute to operational efficiency while working with collaborative teams and opportunities for professional growth.

I am a driven finance and accounting professional with over seven years' experience in internal auditing, financial management, payroll and office administration. I have led audits, prepared and monitored budgets, and processed payrolls for 100+ employees while strengthening internal controls.

My audit work included executing 25+ audits annually, testing 200+ transactions per audit cycle, and developing actionable recommendations that improved reporting accuracy and operational effectiveness. I streamlined processes—such as petty cash reconciliation and bank reconciliations—reducing discrepancies and driving cost savings.

I am experienced with remote and hybrid teams and proficient in Microsoft Dynamics, QuickBooks and advanced Excel. I am seeking to apply my skills in finance, accounting or remote auditing roles to support organizational growth and compliance.
