What I'm looking for

I'm an experienced contractor who delivers results quickly with minimal ramp-up time, and I'm open to contract and contract-to-hire opportunities.

At Sullivan's Bar and Restaurant, I own the full P&L for a multi-staff operation, covering financial reporting, budgeting, payroll, tax compliance, and inventory management. I also manage and troubleshoot its POS and software systems.

At General Electric, I supported financial operations across three North American divisions and served as ERP team lead on the APEX-to-SAP migration. I coordinated across departments to maintain data integrity and process continuity.

Across manufacturing, energy, and oilfield services, I’ve worked on ERP implementations, upgrades, and integrations, including at Dresser-Rand, Columbia Northwest Inc., and Synergy Business Management. My accounting work has included close, financial reporting, cost analysis, and tax compliance.
