About Me
Consultant Mindset
I have started finance/accounting career in 2015 in Japan as a financial statement auditor.
I moved to US in 2019 and since then, I have had opportunities to engage in various projects such as budgeting, financial due diligence, internal controls assessment, governance improvement project, market research etc. in a variety of industries.
I always have been thinking how I can go above and beyond for the company/client. And that’s one of the reasons I have been proactively pursing skills in data analytics and process automation on top of traditional financial analyst skill set.
Collaboration Matters
While robust technical skills are essential to the success of projects, I believe none of great work comes from solo act and collaboration is the key to success.
As a project manager, I feel “WIN” when I am able to aggregate ideas and draw strengths from each member for the best outcome.
Brainstorm with colleagues, insights from outside consultants, coaching from managers, inputs from stakeholders… Every interaction has helped me to expand my perspectives.
Commitment for Excellence
Continuing education is my commitment for excellence. As a Washington State licensed CPA, I complete 120 CPE hours every three year. I actively monitor publications from authoritative bodies for updates on regulations and rules.
In addition, I regularly attend seminars and subscribe newsletters from influential organizations to keep me stay informed about current trend and the best practices in the industry.
