About Leo Markfort

As a Staff Accountant at Goldwind, I apply my accounting, finance, and budgeting skills to support the North American subsidiary of a leading wind turbine supplier and servicer. I have over six years of experience in corporate financial reporting, analysis, and forecasting, as well as special project controller experience. I am a US Navy veteran with a background in nuclear electricity and propulsion operation, and I hold a Bachelor of Science in Finance with International Management. I am passionate about providing accurate and timely financial information and insights to enable sound and strategic business decisions. I have successfully performed financial analyses, developed forecasting models, and delivered price quotations for various projects in Canada, the United States, and Panama. I have also implemented and used SAP, SAP Concur, Dynamics GP, and Sage Fixed Assets systems to improve efficiency and compliance. I am interested in international and multicultural assignments, leveraging my knowledge and skills to enhance business processes and financial performance while climbing towards a C-suite decision making.
