Gregory Gause
@greggause
Detail-oriented staff accountant with expertise in financial reporting.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated staff accountant with extensive experience in full cycle accounting and financial reporting. My journey began at Viasat, Inc., where I managed high-volume travel expenses for hundreds of employees, honing my skills in invoicing and expense auditing.
Over the years, I have developed a strong proficiency in various accounting software, including QuickBooks, Oracle, and Concur, which has enabled me to streamline processes and enhance accuracy in financial reporting.
At Veritas Tax & Law, I took on the challenge of managing the accounting needs for over 20 businesses, where I not only prepared financial statements but also designed customized P&L and KPI reports. My ability to communicate complex financial information clearly to business owners has been a key factor in helping them make informed decisions. I pride myself on my meticulous attention to detail and my commitment to maintaining compliance with GAAP standards, ensuring that all financial transactions are accurately recorded and analyzed.
