What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative environment, and the chance to utilize my accounting expertise in diverse industries.

I am a detail-oriented and results-driven Accounting Technician with over 12 years of global experience, including nearly 3 years in Canada. My expertise lies in preparing T1, T2, T3, and T5 tax returns, conducting year-end reconciliations, and performing financial statement analysis. I am proficient in advanced accounting software such as Tax Prep Wolters Kluwer, SAGE 50, QuickBooks Online, and Excel, which allows me to manage data efficiently and deliver accurate reports.

Throughout my career, I have successfully served clients across various industries, including fisheries, construction, hospitality, and investment firms. My ability to adapt quickly to new regulations and deliver high-quality results in fast-paced environments has been a key factor in my success. I am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and I am eager to learn French to better integrate into bilingual settings. I am currently open to relocation to Montreal for the right opportunity.
