Raquel Werner

I’m a diligent finance executive with over 15 years of experience across accounting, financial analysis, operational management, and controllership. I’m known as a problem solver who delivers real-time solutions for complex issues while building strong relationships with senior leaders and teams.

At Amazon.com, I lead month-end and quarter-end close accounting activities for Wondery podcasts, ensuring accuracy and compliance with tight deadlines. I prepare and present monthly financial reporting and variance analysis, including P&L, balance sheets, cash flow statements, and ASC606 reporting, to internal stakeholders.

I also manage billing, credit and collections, and accounts payable teams, partnering cross-functionally with Finance, Operations, and Sales to resolve discrepancies and keep financial operations running smoothly. I support the close with journal entries, account reconciliations, and financial statement preparation for review.

Earlier, as a Controller at John Latta Associates, Inc., I spearheaded accounting requirements for a $30 million multi-state distributor of construction supplies. I led GAAP statutory reporting, internal control review and implementation, month-end close procedures, AP/AR management, customer credit analysis, stock reconciliations, and sales tax reporting, including payroll and HR responsibilities.
