What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values efficiency and offers opportunities for growth and leadership.

As a dedicated Market Center Administrator, I have honed my skills in financial management and operational efficiency across multiple real estate offices. My experience includes systematizing billing and accounts receivable management, which has led to a remarkable 25% reduction in outstanding accounts receivable within a year. I take pride in my ability to document processes and cross-train staff, ensuring that our operations run smoothly and effectively.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed payroll processing, vendor payments, and month-end close processes, consistently delivering accurate financial reports and insights. My leadership extends to mentoring office staff and collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance agent invoicing and payment processes. I am passionate about driving transformation and optimizing processes to support business growth and success.
