John Stephen Go

I am a dedicated financial services professional with a strong background in bookkeeping, treasury operations, and financial reporting. With experience in cloud-based accounting systems, cash flow management, and financial reconciliation, I have worked in roles that require accuracy, efficiency, and compliance with regulatory standards.

I have previously served as a Treasury Associate at Ayala Foundation Inc. and Treasury Officer at Goldilocks Bakeshop, Inc., where I managed fund planning, financial analysis, and tax compliance. Additionally, my leadership as Treasurer of the Future Finance Leaders Association (FFLA) at Saskatchewan Polytechnic has strengthened my ability to work in fast-paced financial environments and collaborate effectively with teams.

Passionate about financial management, cloud-based bookkeeping, and operational efficiency, I am eager to apply my expertise in a role where I can contribute to an organization’s success.
