What I'm looking for

I am seeking a remote or hybrid role that values strategic insight and compliance excellence, with opportunities for growth.

I am a detail-oriented tax and accounting expert with over 5 years of experience in delivering comprehensive financial management and ensuring regulatory compliance in both remote and hybrid environments. My expertise lies in optimizing tax structures, resolving complex disputes, and managing statutory filings for both multinational and local entities. I have successfully overseen the processing of over 2,000 payroll and vendor transactions annually, filed more than 80 tax returns without incurring penalties, and supported financial decision-making through timely forecasting and analysis.

Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered remote tax advisory services to clients across five countries and facilitated cloud-based financial reporting for distributed teams. I am particularly proud of my ability to secure tax savings by restructuring real estate transactions and reducing audit turnaround times by introducing standardized internal tax review processes. I am now looking to leverage my skill set in a remote or hybrid senior accounting or tax advisory role where strategic insight and compliance excellence are valued.
