Accounting Manager at Grant Thornton who supported consolidated financial reporting across 5–10 legal entities.

At Grant Thornton LLP, I supported audits of consolidated financial statements across 5–10 legal entities, reviewing account balances, reconciliations, and reporting accuracy. I also evaluated fair value for portfolio-company investments and investigated significant budget-to-actual variances.

As a Senior Associate in Audit & Assurance, I supervised teams of 3–5 professionals and managed multiple engagements across private equity, real estate, manufacturing, and hospitality. Earlier, at OCABIQUE PLANET HOTEL, I managed purchasing and standardized approval, receiving, and invoice-matching workflows.
