Initially I was hired to support from an accounting standpoint the SinglePoint joint venture with Unum, United Healthcare, and Sharp Rees Steely Healthcare. Unfortunately, the product did not gain acceptance they it was projected to do so; therefore, I found myself working with the various companies to shut down the joint venture. During this time I worked with the individual companies and made changes to the allocation tables as the contractual obligations to the joint venture were fulfilled. The end result was a smooth shutdown of the joint venture.I then transitioned to the statutory accounting team where I had responsibility for the ZNAT company statutory reporting and yellow book.During my tenure I compiled, edited and wrote the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) for each of the Zenith family of companies (Zenith National, ZNAT, and ZSTAR).

Ultimately, by working with the management information systems department I was able to streamline the inter-regional billing process and eliminate 2 full time positions.I managed a team of 53 contract employees on an ERISA special project in regard to the clients University of California and TRW. The focus of this project was to re-create the billings for the past 7 years for these clients. The difficulty in this project was that all of the data was stored on microfilm, not in a data warehouse. We contracted to have the microfilm printed and then the contractors sorted through approximately 30 million pages of pager to locate the specific pages that related to the billing of the two clients. Ultimately, we were able to locate 87% of the documents. It was determined that the remaining pages were either not transferred to microfilm or the microfilms that contained them were misplaced by the storage facility. This project lasted approximately 7 months.
