What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply accounting and operational expertise to improve accuracy and efficiency, with opportunities for leadership and process improvement in collaborative, results-driven teams.

I am an administrative and accounting professional with over two decades of high-volume support and operations experience across retail, automotive, recovery, and construction sectors. I have led teams, managed departments, and improved processes—earning measurable results such as passing scan audits with under 0.33% error and cutting transaction error rates and cycle times in audit and funding processes.

I specialize in accounts payable/receivable, financial reporting, reconciliations, and operational coordination, and I leverage tools like Excel, QuickBooks, Workday and various dealer and CRM systems to streamline workflows. I bring strong organizational, communication and investigative skills, a Paralegal certificate and Certified Bookkeeper credential, and a proven record of improving accuracy and efficiency.
