Highlights:
**Align financial operations(reporting, accounting, analysis, process improvement and regulatory compliance) with organizational goals.
**Organize accounting department and its records. Implemented procedures for a faster, more accurate closing process. A first for one company.
**At my last position, the reporting departments were, from a software/systems standpoint, completely segregated and using antiquated software. The owner did not want to purchase an integrated software package. He/they were not comfortable with change. I implemented procedures to verify their numbers and got them to work together toward a common goal. Another first for this company.
**Train and cross train my staff; bringing them to their full potential. I would do some training in other departments as needed. The organizing and training saved time, money and brought personnel together who would not normally communicate.
**Accomplished all the above mentioned progress, in a new Controllers position, while also dealing with projects related to the owner's personal litigation(not related to my position as Controller)and researching accounting software with costing features.
**Made a company thousands of dollars by investing underutilized assets, while an Accounting Manager, as a professional gesture and not a part of my job requirement, much to my employer's surprise.
**Saved public and private employers thousands of dollars on
outside computer consulting fees with my computer knowledge. Knowledge ranges from simple email setup, to PC and server maintenance and trouble shooting obscure error messages.
**In many of my positions, my people skills combined technical capabilities in accounting and computers, made me the "go to" person, in the company.
**Instrumental in helping company achieve current goals and suggest future possibilities.
**Maintain impeccable work papers/documentation; train others to do the same.
**Evaluate and implement internal controls.
** I always hit the floor running; thus accomplishing much more
than my employer ever expected.
