What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for growth, a collaborative culture, and challenges that leverage my financial expertise.

I am a highly qualified and dedicated Senior Financial Accountant with over 10 years of experience in managing all aspects of accounting and finance operations across various organizational sizes. My expertise lies in financial reporting, management, and reconciliation processes, where I have consistently demonstrated my ability to adapt to the ever-changing demands of the accounting field. I thrive in challenging environments and am adept at enhancing corporate culture while controlling costs and mitigating financial risks.

Throughout my career, I have been instrumental in generating and reviewing financial statements, implementing accounting standards, and deploying effective business methodologies. My role as a Senior Financial Accountant at Jambojet Limited allowed me to save the company $200,000 USD per month by developing a business case for an in-house Maintenance and Repair Organization. I am detail-oriented, tech-savvy, and proficient in Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft Navision Dynamics, which has enabled me to handle multiple projects with a high degree of accuracy.
