Summary

I am an experienced accounting professional with more than 15 years of experience working with organization from very small to fairly large. As far as target lines of business go, I am especially fond of companies that are startup in nature or companies that specialize in expert services or the field of ITC. I am a quick study and quick adopter, thereby being particularly suited to situations where time is of the essence and where immediate accounting challenges need to be tackled immediately. I have extensive IT skills which I like to use in leveraging efficiency in accounting processes and software.

Key Skills:

-Swiftly comprehending complex topics to see the big picture
-Expertise in a FAS accounting, accounting software and relevant taxation
-Systematic approach to maintaining and developing current and incoming accounting systems and processes.
- Systematic approach to problem solving

My approach to work relies on the core principles of constant learning, professionalism, the desire to be very good at what I do, mastering the systems I use, being proficient enough to teach others and beyond all else, ability to deliver on promised schedules without exception.

I take special pride in independent style of work where I can and get to use my problem solving skills where I have mostly my own abilities and knowledge to rely on.

Motto when working: do not settle for less even if other do so; be the one to set higher standards and be proud to display those standards to others.
