Profile
I’m a Chartered Accountant, and CPA candidate with over eight years of experience in financial reporting, reconciliations, and compliance. I’ve worked across nonprofit and corporate environments, improving processes in SAP, QuickBooks, and Salesforce nd I’m now looking to bring that expertise into accounting and finance roles here in St. Louis.
Career Highlight 1: One career achievement I’m especially proud of was during my time as Compliance Officer at Plan International. I was responsible for managing grants up to $2 million, and I noticed that our reporting process between the national and country offices was slow and often led to delays during audits. I took the lead in setting up a new tracking system using SAP and Salesforce, which streamlined the flow of financial data and improved accuracy. As a result, we cut our audit preparation time by three days.
Career Highlight 2: As Finance Manager at Moore Stephens, I led the month-end close and full-cycle accounting for clients while also improving our cash flow management processes. By tightening AP/AR tracking and implementing more efficient reconciliation practices, I improved process efficiency by 20% and helped the firm deliver more accurate financial insights to clients.
Why Hire This Candidate (In Their Own Words): I think companies should hire me because I have the right mix of technical accounting skills and process improvement experience. I’m comfortable with GAAP/IFRS, month-end close, and financial reporting, but I also bring experience with systems like SAP and QuickBooks, and I’ve shown I can make processes faster and more accurate. On top of that, I work well across teams and know how to support audits and compliance, which means I can add value from day one.
Strengths: 1. Technical Accounting Skills2. Systems & Tools Proficiency such as Quickbooks, MS Office3. Cross-Functional Collaboration and working with different teams.
Hobbies & Personal Interests: Outside work, I really enjoy travelling around the world with my family, going out for walks in the early morning to stay fresh and clear my mind, remain up to date with the finance and accounting world.
