A proven full cycle accounting professional with over 15 years of experience in accounting and audit. Expert in developing and implementing unique accounting procedures and policies, managing teams, and ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting. I do not have an accounting designation for those requiring one but offer my experience and acumen as an alternative Seeking a fulltime permanent Senior Accountant or Assistant Controller position in a well respected company in the Toronto core.

This is Me >I have successfully managed the requirements of full cycle accounting day in, day out and year over year.>Management, shareholders, external auditors, bankers and regulators are consistently pleased with my work >I have excelled in complex and highly regulated industries (Pharmacy and Wealth Management) requiring exceptional documentation, compliance and confidentiality > I will always get the job done, on time and as accurately as possible- you won't have to ask twice >80% of accounting is doing the same as the last time and 20% is managing the chaos in between > I don't mind cleaning up an accounting mess- I'm apparently quite good at it while building structure and consistency.> I'm a rules guy- I will ensure the rules are followed and will offer constructive expert advice to improve policies and procedures.> I work well on my own but thrive in a team environment > People seem to like to work with me and for me. I had a co-worker say that I was ‘the best boss he ever had’ which was odd considering he wasn’t even my employee-(his actual boss hired him while working remotely)> A process improvement I recommended resulted in our company saving over $200K in a single day and a total of $350K by the end of that week while reducing inventory fluctuations on the financial statements company-wide.> I expect Leaders to say what they mean and mean what they say- I commit to doing the same >I have had the privilege of training hundreds of employees in finance, operations and regulatory procedures.
