Contracts Manager
As Contracts manager my focus was billing the United States government for services our employees performed for Department of Defense contracts. I also made sure all 80 plus employees were following contract directives and were compliant with government regulations. It was also my responsibility to make certain the company followed the expectations set forth in each contract as far as reports, deliverables and end results. I was able to shorten the length of time between providing services and being paid by the government from almost 3 months to just over 1 month by streamlining the voucher submission process. I worked closely with the payroll department to get information more quickly and accurately. As Payroll Manager I used Quickbooks to provide paychecks to the entire company of 90 employees. I managed the process from time collection to creation of actual paychecks in-house. I developed controls to make sure the data in payroll matched the information on government invoices. I handled and prepared all Federal and State tax returns and necessary forms. During my tenure I made it a point to ensure each payroll processing was error free. This was achieved by my implementation of checks and balances and the focus on employees deserving an on-time and perfect paycheck.
