What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead accounting operations where I can strengthen controls, improve reporting and processes, guide budgeting and forecasting, and help the business make informed financial decisions.

I've led accounting operations for Buesser Concrete, Eau Claire Event District, and Builders Millwork, overseeing general ledger, accounts payable and receivable, payroll, financial statements, cash flow, job costing, and budgeting.

Across 15+ years in financial management and operational leadership, I've strengthened internal controls, analyzed costs and variances, improved reporting accuracy, managed benefits administration, and supported teams across construction, events, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, retail, and distribution.
