Accountant

I believe that my acquired experience in accounting in both medium and large enterprises make me uniquely qualified for this position. I am also very familiar with the Accounting software package that your organization uses. I am very organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing several projects at once. I have a CPA section 4 in finance and am in the process of obtaining my CPA K.

In my current position at the assistant accountant, I work directly under the Chief Financial Officer. I am wholly responsible for ensuring that my regional divisions comply with all financial regulations and tax laws and that they meet all reporting requirements. I have personally led several internal audits that have resulted in the recovery of a significant amount of funds and saved the organization numerous penalties and other sanctions.

In addition to my technical skills, I have worked very hard over the years to develop leadership, team building, communication, and conflict resolution abilities. I am proficient in several accounts and financial software packages. I am open to the extensive travel that this position requires.
