CPA U.S & Finance Expert | FP&A, Accounting, Bookkeeping, Tax
Accurate tax returns begin with organized books, complete records, and a clear understanding of the client’s business. I am a CPA and Finance Manager with 18+ years of experience in U.S. tax support, accounting, bookkeeping, financial analysis, compliance, and advisory services. My background includes Big Four audit and senior finance leadership roles at JPMorgan Chase and HSBC. I currently support U.S. individual and business tax engagements using Intuit ProConnect. I help clients prepare accurate returns, organize their financial records, plan estimated payments, understand tax obligations, and establish reliable processes for future filing periods. Here’s what I can do for you: U.S. Tax Preparation and Review: Prepare or review individual and business tax returns, organize supporting documentation, identify missing information, and help ensure accurate reporting. Tax Planning and Compliance: Assist with quarterly estimated taxes, extensions, deductions, tax-payment planning, and year-round compliance. Tax-Ready Bookkeeping: Clean up accounting records, reconcile bank and credit card accounts, review general ledgers, prepare journal entries, and complete month-end or year-end closing. Business Accounting and Advisory: Review financial statements, improve cash-flow visibility, develop budgets and forecasts, and provide practical recommendations for business owners. Systems and Reporting: Work with Intuit ProConnect, QuickBooks Online, Excel, SAP, PeopleSoft, Hyperion Essbase, Business Objects, and Qlik. Clients value my attention to detail, responsive communication, organized workpapers, and ability to explain complex financial and tax matters clearly. Whether you need tax preparation, tax planning, bookkeeping cleanup, or ongoing CPA guidance, I can provide accurate work and practical support through MAKDA CPA LLC. Let’s discuss your tax and accounting needs and determine the right next step.
