Bookkeeper at Enermax Mountain Manufacturing who cut month-end close from 10 to 5 business days and supports clean, audit-ready books.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for part-time or full-time remote bookkeeping engagements with Canadian or international clients.

At Enermax Mountain Manufacturing, I support full-cycle accounting, from payables and receivables to payroll, reconciliations, and month-end close. I reduced the close timeline from 10 to 5 business days by automating recurring journal entries and standardizing reconciliations.

I also supported annual audits with zero material adjustment and processed payroll for more than 40 employees with on-time CRA remittances. I built automated Excel dashboards using PivotTables and Power BI to track general ledger trends and highlight variances.

Previously, I worked as an Accountant at Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum and an Audit Trainee at Crowe Dafinone. I’m a CPA candidate with experience in financial reporting, audit support, Canadian tax remittances, and cloud-based accounting tools.
