Reno,NV

Summary

Aspiring CPA with a solid academic background in finance and experience in accounts receivable and accounts payable. Highly motivated, detail-oriented, and driven to ensure financial accuracy and process efficiency. As a Pension Accounts Receivable Clerk, I routinely sat with clients to explain any accounting issues at their level of knowledge. I was fortunate to spend the first 3 months of 2025 working at a CPA firm, helping prepare tax returns for low-income housing and renewable energy projects. I am currently enrolled in a CPA preparation program and plan to sit for the test in 2026. I am seeking a position that will contribute to the experience requirements for the CPA.

Highly-motivated employee with desire to take on new challenges. Strong work ethic, adaptability, and exceptional interpersonal skills. Adept at working effectively unsupervised and quickly mastering new skills.

Hardworking employee with customer service, multitasking, and time management abilities. Devoted to giving every customer a positive and memorable experience.
