THET SAN
Finance & Accounting Professional
Fremont,CA
Summary
I’m a Financial Accountant with 9 years of cross-industry experience—5 years in global manufacturing and 4 years in tourism finance. At China Custom Manufacturing, I manage a full spectrum of accounting operations, including sales and purchase orders, accounts receivable/payable, customer statements, and logistics coordination. I bridge finance with operations to ensure smooth order flows and accurate financial reporting.
Previously, I worked as a Finance Executive at Croton Travel & Tourism in Myanmar, where I supported multi-location financial operations and budgeting processes in a fast-paced service environment.
Recently, I completed my B.A. in Economics at UC Berkeley, where I deepened my understanding of financial systems, economic policy, and data analysis. I’m now looking to bring my combined academic and real-world finance experience into new roles where I can drive growth, streamline operations, and deliver impact in a collaborative team.
