United States

Message

At Cascade Residential Services, I oversee accounting operations across multiple entities and implemented a close calendar and checklist that reduced the close timeline from 10 days to 5. I also created operational KPI reporting and implemented Sage Intacct modules for Accounts Payable AI, Fixed Assets, and Advanced Approvals.

At Sunrise Landscaping, I supervised finance and accounting operations across 9 branches, designed consolidated financials spanning 3 ERP systems, and led budgeting and acquisition integration. Earlier, I worked in plant and manufacturing finance at Cirkul, ConMed, and Stryker Corporation, covering cost accounting, inventory, forecasting, and financial systems.
