To effectively manage month-end closing processes, I prioritize task organization, ensure all financial transactions are recorded timely, and create a check-list for reconciliations and journal entries. Communication with other teams is key to resolving any discrepancies quickly, and I make sure to adhere to deadlines to keep the process smooth.

I am proficient in using Excel and Microsoft Office software for data analysis and reporting, alongside experience using NetSuite for managing financial transactions and reporting. I utilize these tools to automate repetitive tasks, analyze financial data efficiently, and ensure accuracy in all my financial reports.

I have extensive experience in performing bank reconciliations, where I meticulously compare bank statements with internal records. I ensure all discrepancies are investigated and addressed promptly, which helps maintain accurate financial records and insights into the company's cash flow.

I prioritize my responsibilities by assessing deadlines and importance. I typically use a project management tool to list tasks and allocate time blocks for each. This approach allows me to remain organized and ensures I meet all deadlines without sacrificing the quality of my work.

To ensure accurate journal entries, I double-check all transaction details for correctness before posting and cross-reference with supporting documentation. I also maintain an organized filing system and double-check my entries through systematic reconciliation to catch any errors early on.

In high-pressure situations, I remain calm and focus on the task at hand. I break down larger projects into smaller, manageable tasks, set reasonable timeframes for each, and maintain open communication with my team to address any complications that may arise rapidly.

In a previous role, I identified an error related to misclassifying a major expense that significantly affected our financial statements. I conducted a thorough review and brought it to my manager's attention, and we corrected the error before finalizing reports, enhancing the integrity of our financial data.

I stay updated on accounting regulations by subscribing to industry newsletters, attending webinars, and participating in local accounting meetings. Continuous education is vital, and I also engage with online platforms like LinkedIn Learning to enhance my understanding of changing regulations.

I have worked closely within an accounting team where we collaborated on various projects. Regular team meetings to discuss progress, brainstorming solutions for any issues, and supporting each other during tight deadlines fostered a positive environment where we could achieve our goals effectively.

I am particularly drawn to SKIMS because of its innovative approach to fashion and commitment to diversity and inclusion. I admire how the company embraces creativity while maintaining financial integrity, and I believe my skills in accounting can significantly contribute to such a forward-thinking organization.
