Senior Financial Accountant

Growth Accountants Inc. • Full-time

Jul 2025 - Present • 10 mos

I currently work as a Senior Accountant at a Canadian accounting firm, where I manage the day-to-day bookkeeping and accounting for 25+ small and medium-sized businesses with a combined portfolio of over $5M. My role focuses on keeping clients’ books accurate, organized, and easy to understand so they can confidently run their businesses. I handle full-cycle bookkeeping, including accounts payable and receivable, invoicing, cash-flow tracking, bank and credit card reconciliations, and month-end close. I prepare profit & loss statements, balance sheets, and cash-flow reports, and ensure records are clean and ready for tax filing or review. I also fix messy books, clean up historical data, improve charts of accounts, and streamline workflows in QuickBooks Online. I work independently with minimal direction, communicate clearly with clients, and focus on delivering reliable, timely, and audit-ready financial information that business owners can trust.

Senior Audit Associate

KPMG • Full-time

Jan 2022 - Jun 2025 • 3 yrs 5 mos

I worked at KPMG as an Audit Associate and later as a Senior Audit Associate, where I helped businesses review and improve their financial records. My role involved checking whether a company’s financial statements were accurate, complete, and prepared according to accounting standards. I reviewed transactions, tested internal controls, and verified balances to ensure the numbers truly reflected the company’s performance. I worked closely with client accounting teams to understand how their business operated, identified errors or weaknesses in processes, and suggested improvements. I also helped prepare financial statements, reviewed supporting documents, and explained findings to management in a clear and practical way. Over time, I supervised junior team members and ensured audits were completed accurately and on time. This experience gave me a strong understanding of how businesses manage finances and how to keep records clean, reliable, and audit-ready.
