I am an accomplished accountant with expertise in small business bookkeeping, payroll, and cost accounting in manufacturing. Passionate about analyzing general ledgers and implementing GAAP-compliant practices, I played a key role in enforcing accounting controls, such as requisitions and purchasing documents, to streamline the purchasing process and ensure compliance. Recently, I identified $30,000 in yearly overages through variance analysis, leading to a switch from cardboard to reusable plastic bin covers, reducing costs and extending material lifespan. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking and exploring new cuisines.
