Leonarde Aria Prasetyo

I am considered myself as a highly skilled and experienced accountant with a proven track record of managing financial operations, optimizing processes, and delivering accurate financial reporting across diverse industries. With over 10 years of experience in accounting and financial management, I have developed a strong expertise in bookkeeping, tax compliance, payroll administration, and financial analysis. My career spans roles in both the United States and Indonesia, equipping me with a unique perspective on international accounting practices and regulatory requirements.

Currently serving as a Remote Bookkeeper at Tontine LLC in Los Angeles, I oversee critical financial functions, including monthly bank reconciliations, general ledger maintenance, and the preparation of complex financial statements such as profit and loss reports, balance sheets, and cash flow projections. Additionally, I manage payroll processes using Gusto and collaborate with CPA firms to ensure timely tax filings. My ability to develop weekly cash flow projections has been instrumental in maintaining the company’s financial stability.

Prior to this role, I held Accounting Manager positions at PT Hasfarm International and PT Crystal Jade Restaurant in Jakarta, where I implemented comprehensive budgeting systems, reconciled accounts, and resolved discrepancies to ensure financial accuracy. Notably, at PT Crystal Jade Restaurant, I successfully negotiated a tax dispute, $300,000 tax bill reduction to $70,000, and implemented strategies to resolve past-due invoices with suppliers. My tenure at PT Nam Center Hotel further honed my skills in financial reporting, cost-saving initiatives, and staff training, where I saved the company approximately $10,000 annually by optimizing supplier contracts.

Earlier in my career, I worked as an Assistant Accounting Manager at Jaffe Braunstein Films, Inc., and as an Accounting Coordinator at Spectera Vision Services, Inc., both in Los Angeles. These roles allowed me to refine my expertise in accounts payable, accounts receivable, budget management, and financial forecasting. I also supervised teams, ensuring compliance with contractual agreements and streamlining financial processes to enhance efficiency.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Business Administration from Eastern Michigan University, complemented by specialized courses in QuickBooks, payroll management, US taxes, Microsoft Excel, and data analytics. These qualifications, combined with my hands-on experience, enable me to leverage technology and analytical tools to drive financial accuracy and operational excellence.

Beyond my professional achievements, I am a proactive problem-solver with strong communication and teamwork skills. My ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, resolve complex financial issues, and meet tight deadlines has been consistently recognized by employers. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through tennis, hiking, and traveling, which reflect my disciplined and adventurous spirit
