What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to utilize my finance and analytical skills in a collaborative environment, with opportunities for growth and development.

My name is Vanesa Hernandez, a dedicated finance graduate from California State University of Northridge, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Finance with a focus on Financial Analysis. I have a solid foundation in financial principles, supported by my experience as an Accounting Associate at Field Fresh Foods Inc. Here, I manage bookkeeping tasks, ensure compliance with GAAP, and support month-end and year-end closing processes. My analytical skills are complemented by my proficiency in various financial software and tools.

Prior to my current role, I honed my skills at Nordstrom Inc., where I consistently exceeded performance goals in logistics and sales. My ability to analyze data and implement efficient processes has been key to my success. I am passionate about leveraging my finance and analytical skills to contribute to a dynamic team and drive organizational success.
