What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented finance professional with over 8 years' experience in requisition processing, budgeting, accounts payable, and financial reconciliation. I use financial systems such as eMMA, FMIS, D365, and Excel to streamline operations and maintain compliance.
In my current role as Fiscal Specialist I assist with monthly budget preparation for 52 buildings, track and process requisitions, and create purchase orders in eMMA. I review and reconcile invoices, submit fund certifications, and develop automated spreadsheets and ledgers for accurate financial tracking.
Previously I supported multi-division agencies in accounts payable, payroll, and case financial reconciliations, and built tools to improve tracking and analysis. I focus on accurate fund management, vendor coordination, and continuous process improvement to support operational and fiscal goals.
