Greetings!

As a Senior Finance and Accounting Professional with over 20 years of experience in full cycle accounting, budget/forecasting, AR, AP and month-end, year-end closings among others, I’m highly confident that I’ll bring my collective experience and successes to the role that you are currently looking for.

I believe that my unique blend of international experience having worked extensively in 3 different countries (Canada, Qatar and the Philippines) provides me the flexibility, creativity and synergistic energy to consistently produce quantifiable results in today’s fast, dynamic and increasingly complicated business environment.

Along with my constantly updated skills in all relevant software applications such as Microsoft Dynamics AX, QuickBooks, Prophix and Advanced MS Office skills: Excel, Pivot tables, Word in addition to my people skills (I’m a graduate of Dale Carnegie Course CD24), I will be able to foster greater teamwork and collaboration among inter-departmental functions. With my educational background in Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, majoring in Accounting and being a licensed Certified Public Accountant in the Philippines, I also offer a broad base of technical knowledge which allows me to readily absorb and integrate new information thereby effecting a faster learning curve.

All these I bring with me, together with a sincere belief that a tiny investment of your time for an interview will ultimately result in huge, measurable gains for your company.

Thank you.
