What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values accuracy in financial reporting.

I am a dedicated General Accountant with over 7 years of experience in accounting and financial operations. My expertise spans full-cycle accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliations, and general ledger management. I have a proven track record of improving accounting workflows and delivering accurate financial reporting, which has significantly contributed to the success of the finance teams I have been part of.

Throughout my career, I have successfully revamped accounting systems to enhance reporting efficiency and compliance with organizational standards. My strong attention to detail and proactive work ethic have enabled me to manage complex financial operations effectively. I am skilled in using various accounting software, including MS Excel, QuickBooks, and Microsoft Dynamics 365, which allows me to maintain data integrity and streamline processes.

Currently, I am seeking a challenging position within a growth-oriented organization where I can leverage my extensive experience and contribute to strategic business goals. I am committed to continuous professional development and am currently pursuing my Certified Management Accountant (CMA) designation.
