@tayoodebunmi
Senior Accountant specializing in general ledger, month-end close, and GAAP financial reporting across multi-entity environments.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Accountant with 6+ years of experience owning general ledger activities, month-end close, and financial reporting in multi-entity environments exceeding $200M in revenue. I support the preparation of GAAP-compliant financial statements and deliver accurate, timely reporting for leadership decisions.
In my current role, I’ve improved balance sheet accuracy by 25% by resolving reconciliation discrepancies impacting $5M–$15M+ in financial statement balances. I also reduced the close cycle by ~20–25% (2 days), eliminating recurring reconciliation issues and strengthening financial result stability across close cycles.
I’m highly focused on GAAP compliance, internal controls, and SOX readiness—preparing and reviewing 100+ journal entries monthly, ensuring proper period cut-off and completeness of GL activity. I’m experienced in intercompany accounting and consolidation support, variance analysis, and close issue resolution that improves visibility into financial performance.
Across prior accounting and AP/AR work, I’ve streamlined reconciliation processes, improved audit documentation quality, and helped reduce adjustments during close. I bring a collaborative approach—working across Finance, HR, and Operations—and I’m motivated to keep raising reporting accuracy, speed, and control effectiveness.
