What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth while contributing to strategic financial initiatives.

I am a dedicated financial professional with extensive experience in budget management and financial reporting. Over the years, I have successfully directed the budget department for the Department of Social Services, managing an annual budget of approximately $800 million. My role involved collaborating with department directors to assess their budget needs, ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations, and preparing detailed financial reports for executive management.

In my previous position as Assistant Controller at Piedmont Medical Center, I assisted in overseeing daily financial operations, including month-end close reviews and compliance with GAAP. My ability to analyze financial data and provide actionable insights has consistently contributed to improved financial performance across various departments. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive strategic financial decisions and enhance organizational efficiency.
