Staff Accountant at Farmer Holding Company supporting Ready Mix month-end close and multi-entity financial reporting.

At Farmer Holding Company, I support the Ready Mix division’s month-end close, completing reconciliations, accruals, journal entries, and financial reporting activities. I also review trial balances and maintain inventory records across multiple locations.

I reconcile AP and AR, prepare payroll accruals and reversals, and maintain prepaid expense schedules for multiple companies. I provide audit support and organize monthly reports for division financial reporting.

Before moving into staff accounting, I managed full-cycle accounts payable at Farmer Holding Company, processing invoices and payments and reconciling vendor statements. Earlier, I supported case-management and electronic-filing systems at the Missouri Administrative Hearing Commission and handled claimant accounts at the Missouri Division of Employment Security.
