Lina Castano

I’m an accounting leader who loves turning complex processes into simple, efficient systems. I build teams that take pride in accuracy, collaboration, and continuous improvement. My experience spans month-end close, automation projects, and cross-department initiatives that make financial reporting faster and cleaner.

I’m an accounting leader with over eight years of progressive experience in full-cycle accounting and three years of supervisory leadership. My background includes oversight of month-end and year-end close, general ledger activity, budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis. I’m experienced in GAAP compliance, audit coordination, and internal control management, with a strong focus on accuracy, efficiency, and process improvement.

Known for being both analytical and collaborative, I guide teams to deliver timely, high-quality financial results while streamlining accounting operations.
