What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior finance leadership role where I can enforce internal controls, run full-cycle accounting and payroll, and partner cross-functionally to turn shifting priorities into efficient workflows that improve profitability.

I’m a Senior Financial Controller and Operations Manager with an MBA in Business Leadership and 20+ years of experience balancing cross-functional, multi-unit operations with full-cycle financial stewardship. I’ve managed decentralized culinary, restaurant, and medical environments across a national footprint, establishing rigid internal controls and overseeing annual budgets exceeding $500,000.

I drive process adoption through clear documentation and training, manage remote accounting operations (AP/AR, payroll, and GAAP-compliant reporting), and align operational execution with customer-focused campaigns—resulting in a 30% increase in client acquisition. I also deliver measurable control and efficiency gains, including slashing COGS by 15%, eliminating $5,000 in annual waste, preserving near-perfect payroll accuracy, and improving net profit margins by 10% to 20% year-over-year.
