Hi, I have over 20 years of accounting experience. I have led teams of over 15 people and am capable of directing accounting operations including SEC, audit, scaling a company, cost cutting, negotiating and enjoy working with seed, startup, growing or established companies. I have created startup companies before and know what it takes to get a project complete regardless of whether accounting or business related. Initiative is the key for businesses of all sizes. One of the key approaches applied to accounting operations is that we are team players and have a key influence on the financials.Significant projects I led and executed: -Led close improvement project and demonstrated 1 day close methodologies.-Led turnaround business efforts requiring cost reductions and employee re-organizations.-Integrated multiple acquisitions over $1B.-SEC reporting & tagging-Completed contract reviews and determined accounting treatments.-Organized closing activities globally for startups and global companies with billions in revenue. -Setup small companies to easily scale to large companies without significant change in system infrastructure.-Established new accounting operations and shared service structures.-Setup international consolidation reporting and structure.-Recruited, Hired and trained international finance teams.My background in IT infrastructure, software development, RPA and DevOps concepts has also led me to deeply understand system architecture minimizing overall human work effort. Above all, I enjoy working in accounting. I'm currently a CPA candidate and have worked closely with auditors, public accounting firms and CPA's throughout my career.My hobbies are flying planes, sailing, golfing and racing. I also like the bay area sports teams. Thanks for reading!
