The move from the Nike NA DTC Controlling organization to Finance brought on many new challenges with forecasting and reporting on OCOGS, transitions and aging, focusing on the North America Nike.com digital facilities. I participated in UAT testing and process development for new systems, facilities, and projects, representing Finance and Inventory. There was also special focus on identifying issues, root causes, and resolutions. I also continued to manage 11 offshore resources with the operational tasks, to ensure adherence to our processes and SOX controls, and to resolve all tier 2 issues.

I was hired to assist the North America Retail Inventory Management team in preparing for the conversion to SAP Retail. In addition to resolving any conversion issues as needed, I manage 25 Nike factory stores to insure the accuracy of their inventory records, reconcile large volumes of receipts to their POs and invoices, file claims, and aid stores in any receiving issues. I wrote the 50 page Inventory Management Training Manual for the new SAP-R system and trained four new hires. I also carried out regular ad hoc research projects, such as identifying the origin of the increase in defective returns and worked cross functionally to improve the recycled UPC process. I participated in training of the Infosys team to take over our transactional work. And continued on to manage their work and escalations.

A contract position to work with the business owner to post a year’s worth of payroll general ledger entries, reconcile the ledgers and post closing entries using Sage BusinessWorks.

• I was responsible for all accounting tasks for this civil engineering firm, as well as their separate rental property and landscaping companies, including: accounts payable, billing, tracking receivables, collections, journal entries, account reconciliation, producing financial reports, preparing for taxes, initiating all marketing efforts. I also redesigned and updated the company website, teaching myself Adobe Dreamweaver; and improved internal financial controls and reporting. I used Quickbooks 2007 and MS Office.
