An accomplished financial professional with a solid background in both GAAP and managerial accounting. I have a proven record in building solid financial infrastructures, improving accounting and reporting procedures, and providing sound financial analysis.
In my years of working in accounting/finance, I have not only worked in the hospitality and entertainment industry but opened two night clubs and two restaurants. For these challenging tasks, I successfully implemented the restaurant, front of house and accounting systems, brought the books into compliance with GAAP standards, instituted new procedures that standardized and improved operational reporting, and established new systems that simplified asset accounting. In addition, as a financial expert, I am frequently called upon to provide the expert financial analysis that drives successful corporate decision-making.
Equally skilled in closing the financial books and conducting analysis of financial results, I consider myself a team player willing and able to tackle any challenge in the financial arena. However, my true passion lies in analysis and the identification of cost-saving opportunities. Related to this, I pride myself on my ability to develop clear, cohesive financial reports that provide the basis and justification for change and improvement initiatives. Knowledgeable and forward thinking, I have proven to be a respected and valued financial leader in the past.
