With a CPA license and a master degree of accounting from University of Notre Dame, I have worked as a tax consultant in a national tax firm over two tax seasons, doing federal and state income tax returns, quarterly estimates and provisions. Previously, I was an audit intern in Ernst & Young. I am a quick learner. I joined that tax firm in July last year, had to pick up everything in the busy season and at the same time, passed all the CPA exams in 5 months.
Eager to contribute with my solid accounting background and working experience, I am open to relocation and looking forward to hearing from you soon.
