Message

At Shook, Hardy, & Bacon, I prepare recurring financial and workforce reports, including a month-end package of more than 20 reports. I replaced manual headcount and FTE reporting steps with reusable formulas and standardized formats, shortening the reporting cycle by approximately two business days.

Previously, I improved accounts payable and accounting processes at Altria, Yellow Corporation, and Mission Peak Capital. My work included reducing invoice errors, streamlining reconciliations, and automating financial reporting using tools such as Excel, SAP, Oracle, and Rent Manager.
