@jamiearuffo

I lead multi-entity accounting, forecasting, controls, and cash flow operations.

I've directed full-cycle accounting, financial planning, and compliance for AWE Learning, Real Properties, Brinker Simpson & Company, Gardner Lewis Asset Management, and Djcre. I deliver consolidated reporting, budgets, forecasts, cash flow analysis, and actionable financial insights for senior leadership.

I've accelerated month-end close by 75%, improved forecast accuracy by up to 25%, and maintained GAAP/IFRS and tax compliance through stronger controls, automation, ERP improvements, and audit-ready processes. I also lead accounting teams, manage payroll and banking relationships, and protect liquidity across multi-entity operations.
