I’m an accounting professional and MS‑Accounting candidate who blends Big 4 audit discipline with deep, full‑cycle accounting, payroll, and tax expertise across private, public, and nonprofit sectors. Over the past eight years I have: • Produced audit‑ready GAAP financial statements - balance sheet, P&L, cash‑flow, equity rolls, XBRL, and MD&A while trimming month‑end close to under five days and virtually eliminating post‑close adjustments. • Led risk‑based external audits and in‑depth internal control reviews for multinational subsidiaries, mid‑market companies, and mission‑driven nonprofits, drafting clear, principle‑focused opinions and guiding teams of 3–10. • Specialized as a Payroll Specialist II, running multi‑state payrolls for 500 + employees, reconciling gross‑to‑net, administering benefits and equity comp, filing quarterly/annual returns (941, 940, W‑2, 1099), and resolving tax‑authority notices with zero penalties. • Managed fund & grant reporting and compliance mapping costs to funding streams, building grant schedules, monitoring budget‑vs‑actual, and ensuring clean audits under Uniform Guidance, donor agreements, and local regulations. • Prepared and reviewed complex multi‑state Form 1040s (HNWI, K‑1s, equity comp, crypto) and business returns, reconciling book‑to‑tax differences and maximizing available credits and deductions. • Built live MIS and Power BI dashboards that deliver real‑time KPIs and variance analytics, turning granular data into strategic insights on margin, cash, and working capital. Honored with a Beta Gamma Sigma award for academic excellence, I’m equally comfortable rolling up my sleeves in the general ledger, presenting findings to audit committees, or mentoring junior staff. My toolkit spans QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, Audit Board, Power BI, and advanced Excel.
