What I'm looking for

I want to advance into an Accounting Manager role where I can lead accounting operations, strengthen month-end close and controls, and support organizational growth through cross-functional collaboration and continuous process improvement.

I’m a results-driven Senior Accountant and Financial Analyst with 20+ years in pharmaceutical and biotechnology environments. At EVOTEC, I lead month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close to ensure timely, accurate financial reporting, while preparing and reviewing balance sheet reconciliations and resolving reconciling items. I also manage fixed assets and CIP from acquisition through capitalization, oversee full-cycle Accounts Payable processing, and maintain internal controls to support corporate accounting policy compliance.

Across prior roles, I’ve strengthened financial operations through process improvement, risk assessment, and systems-driven efficiency. At VIRTUS PHARMACEUTICALS, I led the successful implementation of the Concur Expense and Concur Invoice platforms to streamline expense reporting and invoice processing while improving financial controls and efficiency. Earlier, I supported SOX testing, walkthroughs, and SEC reporting, and I’ve delivered measurable wins such as streamlining FedEx accounts payable with an automated upload process and reducing processing time, plus improving cash management and approval-cycle timelines.
