What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values process improvement and offers growth opportunities in accounting and payroll.

I am a detail-oriented and proactive professional with extensive experience in accounting, payroll, and administrative operations. My career has been marked by a commitment to streamlining processes, maintaining compliance, and enhancing team and customer satisfaction. Currently, I am pursuing the Payroll Compliance Practitioner (PCP) certification to deepen my expertise in Canadian payroll standards.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven ability to manage financial operations effectively, lead teams, and support organizational efficiency through strong analytical and communication skills. My experience ranges from bookkeeping in the restaurant industry to general accounting roles in India, where I improved financial accuracy and introduced automation tools to enhance accounting processes. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to organizational success.
