Summary
Over 24 years work experience, including 10 years of Administrative Support and Accounting/Bookkeeping responsibilities. I am a dedicated, reliable and tenacious person seeking an opportunity to return to a position where I can further my relevant skills and education with a successful team and company. Although my most recent positions have not been in the field I am currently seeking to get back into, many of my skills do translate. I am highly-motivated employee with desire to take on new challenges. Strong worth ethic, adaptability and exceptional interpersonal skills. Adept at working effectively unsupervised and quickly mastering new skills. Since moving to the US in 2003, I have taught myself fluent English (speaking, reading and writing). After earning my Double Bachelor’s Degree in both Accountancy and Management of Finance in Poland (transcripts available for verification), I supported the day to day administrative duties of the owner at an accounting firm as well as performed the full scope of bookkeeping and accounting duties.
