Sr. Director Of Finance / Controller
While working for this organization, I managed the day-to-day financial activities of general accounting, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and purchasing. I directed a staff of eight with an operating budget of $48M. I prepared monthly financial reports, and analyzed general ledger activity to identify trends and anomalies that should be investigated. I also facilitated the completion of the annual financial statements and financial audits. I made a number of significant contributions in my time here. I reorganized the finance department, establishing policies and procedures that saved the agency $200K. I yielded a savings of $500K by reviewing New York City Human Resources related payments and establishing new procedures and record keeping. I also monitored and enforced internal controls relating to metro card distribution, saving $75K annually. I assumed assistant VP of finance duties after the CFO suddenly resigned, resulting in no interruption of financial support. Then I enhanced the level of financial support provided by teaming with the new CFO to solve staffing problems. I also increased organizational efficiency by analyzing accounts receivable, accounts payable, and financial plan data to develop cash flow and forecasting process. I established practices for finance operations and developed a financial reporting program. And I updated accounting policies and procedures to ensure compliance with accounting standards. Finally, I ensured adequate and effective system of internal controls. Internet URL: www.sus.org
