What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated financial professional with over 20 years of experience in accounting and financial management. Currently, I serve as an Associate Accounts Manager at Nelson Exteriors, where I reconcile credit card transactions, monitor project hours, and process payroll for a diverse team. My role requires meticulous attention to detail and strong organizational skills, which I have honed throughout my career.

Previously, I worked as a Financial Controller and Accountant at Roswell United Methodist Church, where I led the creation and management of a $5.20 million annual budget and collaborated with department heads to ensure financial accuracy. My experience includes preparing financial statements, managing payroll for over 130 employees and contractors, and facilitating audits. I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively with team members and stakeholders, ensuring that financial processes run smoothly.

With a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from The University of Georgia, I am well-equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in financial roles. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to contribute to a dynamic team and help organizations achieve their financial goals.
