Senior Accountant at Centene leading financial restatements for over $35 billion in annual activity.

United States

Message

At Centene, I lead the financial restatement process for more than $35 billion in annual revenue and expense activity, supporting accurate consolidated reporting. I also analyze results for three state health plans and prepare monthly journal entries exceeding $10 million.

Previously, at City Facility Management LLC, I implemented a SharePoint tracking site that helped reduce financial statement preparation time by 30%. Across my accounting roles, I’ve worked on month-end close, reconciliations, variance analysis, and financial reporting in healthcare, corporate, and property accounting environments.
