I instituted an accounting consulting firm by pioneering a business that provided external auditing support to publicly and privately held entities.══ EVOLUTION ══It was an enjoyable challenge to start this business from scratch by capitalizing on existing business contacts as well as networking. I outsourced CFO functions such as technical research and documentation, preparation of audit schedules, and communication and planning with external auditors and streamlined automated processes such as templates and models. I also prepared, reported, and presented operating plans and reviews of performance relative to prior operating plans and metrics, and completed detail SOX (Sarbanes Oxley) assessments. I took pride in performing the delivery of attestation engagements, and providing auditing for-profit industries and accounting for diversified businesses—including assisting clients in designing accounting systems and preparing the Annual Management Discussion and Analysis Report. Along with the coordination, preparation, and preparation and filing of SEC statements, state-specific schedules, and RBC calculations, I coordinated audit processes and performed income and expense analysis while managing quarterly and annual expense audits.══ SPECIALTIES ══Financial Leader | GAAP Reporting | Strategic Planning | Financial Accounting | Financial Analysis & Reporting | Business Valuation | Budgeting & Forecasting | Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) | Internal Controls | Auditing | Sarbanes-Oxley | SEC Filings | Statutory Compliance | Financial Statements | Cash & Credit Management | Bookkeeping | Recapitalizations | KPI’s & Benchmarks | Management Reporting | Fiscal Controls | Expense Management & Analysis | Company Policies & Compliance | Executive Leadership | Relationship & Time Management | Coaching & Mentorship | Treasury Management | Direct & Indirect Taxation | Creative Problem Solving | Analytical Skills | Effective Communication
