What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to leverage my financial leadership expertise to support strategic decision-making and financial operations at Covenant Logistics.

At Tranco Global, LLC. and Tranco Logistics, LLC., I generated financial statements and directed month-end closing for transportation brokerage, trucking, and warehousing divisions. I also initiated budget and forecasting processes for both companies.

At Orange Grove Center, Inc., I managed accounting operations for a $42 million facility and oversaw month-end closing and financial statements. I collaborated across departments on budgets and variance analysis, and spearheaded the audit of financial operations and statements.

Across my finance and accounting roles, I’ve worked on GAAP reporting, internal controls, and financial systems. At Arcade Marketing, Inc., I helped consolidate facilities for annual savings of $3.5 million and achieved zero credit write-offs for five consecutive years.
