Results-driven Controller with expertise in finance and operations.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Controller with over 4 years of experience managing accounting, finance, HR, and operations for a rapidly growing commercial HVAC company. My journey has been marked by a proven ability to implement robust accounting systems, streamline processes, and deliver strategic financial insights that drive organizational success.
At Interior Climate Solutions, I directed all financial operations during a period of significant growth, scaling revenue from under $5 million to over $35 million. I built and led multi-functional teams across accounting, HR, and AR/AP departments, and successfully streamlined collections by 30%, significantly improving cash flow. My strong background in education and marketing enhances my financial acumen, allowing me to communicate effectively with leadership and foster a culture of collaboration.
Previously, I served as a Grade Teacher and Team Lead, where I honed my leadership skills and developed a keen understanding of data analysis and curriculum development. My experience in diverse roles has equipped me with a unique blend of skills that I bring to every challenge I face in the financial sector.
