At Palo Creative PLL, I directed financial functions for a 75-client portfolio generating up to $2M in revenue. I handled billing, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and General Ledger reconciliation using QuickBooks Online, while maintaining GAAP compliance.

I also transitioned financial and project workflows from NetSuite to Wrike and QuickBooks Online, and worked with executives on audits and tax compliance. Earlier, I managed bookkeeping, payroll, and customer billing at Edison Landscape and Deck Lighting, Youngstown Computer Company, and Davids Heating Company Ltd.
