What I'm looking for

I am seeking a finance or accounting role where I can lead full-cycle accounting, strengthen controls, drive process improvements, and support strategic financial decisions.

I am an experienced accountant with a Masters in Business Accounting and a strong track record managing full-cycle accounting, financial analysis, and process improvements across multiple organizations. I have led month-end and year-end close processes, implemented internal controls, integrated acquisitions into accounting platforms, and overseen payroll and multi-entity accounting operations.

I am proficient with Sage Intacct, Salesforce, Nexstep, QuickBooks, and advanced Microsoft Excel, and I prioritize accuracy, compliance, and operational efficiency. I am motivated to bring my skills in budgeting, reconciliations, and financial reporting to a team where I can drive improvements and support strategic decision-making.
