For 20 years, I have been a financial accounting professional. My
experience has ranged from a staff accountant performing
municipal audits and tax return work, to taking on the corporate-
accounting oversight role as both a controller and CFO. This
experience has included hiring, training, and managing other
accountants as well as developing an understanding of reporting
requirements, deadlines, and policy implementations that
challenge the profession on a daily basis. My background has also
given me experience in financial management, financial reporting,
light manufacturing, tax planning and preparation, budgeting, and
extensive Excel use for financial analysis and reporting. I have
also been the project manager for multiple Deltek Costpoint
implementations as well as implementations of Deltek Time &
Expense and Deltek Budgeting & Planning. Based upon my
experience, I feel that I am well prepared for any challenge in the
accounting profession.
