I've led accounting operations and month-end close at Chicago Friends School, correcting historical issues, producing financial reporting, and helping complete an audit outstanding for more than two years.

Previously at Tovala, I supported general ledger close, vendor and corporate-card accounting, inventory and food-cost reconciliations, financial reporting, and NetSuite implementation. I partnered with external auditors and operational teams to investigate discrepancies, maintain support schedules, and improve accounting workflows.

My background also includes financial-risk analysis for the State of Illinois, pension-fund compliance examinations, and accounting for an approximately $18.5M university dining account at Chartwells.
