About

Professional summary

I am a qualified accounting and tax professional with extensive experience in financial reporting, tax compliance, reconciliations, treasury, payroll review, and audit support. I hold ACA and ACTI professional qualifications, complemented by an MSc in Finance and a BSc in Economics.

I currently prepare Canadian corporate and personal income tax returns, including T2 and T1 filings, rental-income reporting, GST/HST returns, bookkeeping, and compilation financial statements. I work with reviewer feedback and client documentation to finalize accurate returns for sign-off.

My background includes senior accounting roles across property management, manufacturing, technology, and professional services. I have managed monthly management accounts, cash flows, general ledger analysis, accounts payable and receivable, intercompany transactions, fixed assets, and statutory remittances.

I am proficient with SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Sage, QuickBooks Online, Profile, CaseWare Working Papers, and Microsoft Office applications. I apply strong analytical ability, attention to detail, internal-control knowledge, and GAAP principles to maintain accurate financial records.

I work effectively both independently and collaboratively, with strong communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills. I am committed to improving finance processes, resolving reconciliation issues, supporting compliance, and delivering reliable reporting for business decision-making.
