What I'm looking for

Seeking a full-time accounting or financial operations role where I can apply 30+ years of experience in financial reporting, payroll, reconciliations, and internal controls. Open to Controller, Accounting Manager, Senior Accountant, or full-charge accounting positions in the Central Valley or remotely, preferably with benefits.

I’m an accounting and financial operations professional with 30+ years of experience supporting healthcare practices, construction companies, and small businesses. Through Kennedy Consulting, I manage multiple client engagements involving accounting operations, financial reporting, payroll, internal controls, workflow improvement, and business launches.

At Hillock Family Dental, I worked with the owner and CPA to reconstruct more than $3 million in financial records following embezzlement. I also migrated QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online in one weekend with zero downtime, helped reduce receivables over 90 days by 75% without sending patients to collections, and contributed to a 99% dental insurance audit score.

Earlier in my career, I co-developed a SaaS product that was adopted for immediate use by four government agencies through Cubic. My experience combines hands-on accounting expertise, technology implementation, and practical problem-solving. I enjoy learning new systems, collaborating with owners and CPAs, and finding ways to make financial processes more accurate and efficient.
