What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an accounting/finance leadership role where I can run full-cycle AP/AR and payroll, strengthen internal controls, and deliver accurate executive reporting and forecasting that improves operational performance.

I’m an accomplished accounting and finance professional with more than 25 years of experience overseeing accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll administration, budgeting, financial reporting, reconciliations, and month-end close processes. I’m known for improving operational efficiency, strengthening internal controls, and reducing reporting errors while supporting executive leadership with reliable financial data.

In my most recent role as Senior Accountant, I managed full-cycle AP and AR, ran bi-weekly payroll for more than 160 employees, and streamlined month-end close to improve reporting efficiency and accuracy. I also improved revenue recognition tracking, enhancing financial statement accuracy by 15%, and developed standardized management reports to strengthen operational visibility and audit readiness.

Previously, as Comptroller for Cross Schools, I directed accounting operations across AP, AR, payroll, budgeting, and financial reporting, overseeing more than $2 million in capital project accounting and budget management. Across roles, I’ve strengthened internal controls and forecasting procedures, reducing accounting errors by 25%, and I bring advanced proficiency in ADP, Paycom, Paycor, MUNIS, QuickBooks, Crystal Reports, Ottimate, and Microsoft Excel.
