About
I am a fresh graduate with a focus in economics and accounting from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I have more than five years of studying accounting since my freshman year in Hong Kong and therefore have stronger fundamentals in the accounting area. I have working experience in a small CPA firm as well as one of the big four companies, Deloitte, in the U.S office to gain some real-life experience and receive professional training, for example, preparing tax return documents for clients, maintaining important records for each case, and assisting senior in general audit procedures and process.
I am an ambitious, fast learner and love challenges. I not only set a clear goal of taking the CPA exam as I wanna be proficient and to better prepare myself to become a professional. In addition to my ever involving learning in school, I have developed strong interpersonal and communication skills with customers through my job experience as a sales associate and a customer service associate.
While gaining invaluable experience as a student, I’m looking for job opportunities to allow me to become fully immersed in an accounting and business environment.
