About

As an accountant with 10 years of experience I managed the close process for different period perspective, where included the often accruals related with current transaction of the companies. I also managed the process of the fixed assets, the tax declaration. In addition, on last experience, I worked in the maintain under the control the Customer program subledgers. Across all this period I always worked close of finance and the board. Experience has given me the possibility to build strong relationships with all my colleagues, with different nationalities and background were had the possibility of learned capacity of adaptation. I believe I can easily adapt to different environments, I worked from a small to an international company within completely different markets (ceramic raw materials and manufacturing / distribution of consumer products). As we know, the accountants are boring, but the number are still my passion, because we need are involve in projects with other departments and keep monitoring the numbers always in our minds is the reason that I keep love with this job. Due to the pandemic situation, I worked one year from home, I believe that this experience prepared me to the possibility of work remotely.
