What I'm looking for

I seek accounting roles where I can apply CPA-level tax, bookkeeping and financial reporting skills, improve processes, mentor junior staff, and deliver accurate, timely financials in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am an accounting professional with over 8 years of hands-on bookkeeping, tax and financial reporting experience, having worked at firms including Numera Finance, Armanino LLP, Marcum LLP and Compt Financial Consulting. I hold a CPA, an MBA in Finance & Accounting, and multiple certifications such as QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor and several accounting software credentials.

My background includes preparing financial audits, tax returns, bank and GL reconciliations, payroll processing, accrual schedules, and building financial models and dashboards to support decision-making. I have implemented process improvements, ensured Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, and advised clients on tax planning and reporting across federal, state and local jurisdictions.

I am reliable, meticulous, a quick learner, and client-focused; I enjoy coaching CPA students and delivering automated Excel solutions, bookkeeping (QuickBooks, Xero, MYOB), and tax preparation services to help businesses optimize financial operations and growth.
