Toronto, Ontario, Ca

Responsed to credit card charge-backs created by guests who denied making a purchase. Used the full tact required by an employee of the distinguished Four Season Hotel group to inform the guest that they did make such a purchase.This job came in three different occasions from November 2006 through July 2007. Like a scene out of Das Boot, the accounting department was a cramped, narrow, unairconditioned, poorly lighted room, where no one spoke English. When it got really warm, condensation would form on the sewage pipes running overhead and drip on the paperwork.

Visited this branch of Constellation NewEnergy, a wolrdwide power generating and brokering company with a market niche in providing power to big industry. Billing was typical of an electric and gas utility with some projects requiring spreadsheets to recalculate mistakes made on their more complex rate contracts. Most of the six months was working as the branch's bookkeeper using Oracle with a Pyxis front-end (paying bills, including city users tax collected from customers see http://gregcone.com/backup/UUT_Procedure.pdf for how that was done). Also did the daily billing of customers in Alberta, Canada with the aid of Scotia Bank's software and Platinum with Crystal Reports.

After an internal audit found a half-million dollar difference between health insurance benefits paid-for compared to insurance premiums collected from employees' payroll, I was selected to do the reconciliation. I discovered that benefit department's employees were haphazardly following procedures in closing accounts for terminated, retired, and dead employees. In the 6 small departments (about 300 people) given the choice to have BC/BS or Kaiser over CALPERS health insurance, in a 24 month period, $750,000 was overpaid on insurance of employees who were off the payroll, while $250,000 was collected from paychecks on employees who did not have insurance. Therefore, the city had a net imbalance of one half-million dollars of insurance payments.Followed on through by requesting refunds for the $750,000 in over-payments.Also, showed the city employees how to do an account reconciliation on their system so that this problem may not occur in the future. If it does happen in the future, then I am the person to blame.

E-Learning pioneer Ed2Go (now a subsidiary of Thomson Learning--pioneer of printing a new textbook edition each semester rather than once a year) needed people to answer questions brought up by their E-Students. My specialities were Excel 2003, Access 2003, and Quickbooks 2003 (unlike Thomson Learning, Microsoft and Intuit have not learned to publish quarterly or semi-annual versions of their software).Oddly enough, I did not own a copy Access or Quickbooks at the time, answering questions by seaching the web for off-sylabis questions.

Vevey, Ch

(1) Marketing department, setup regional contract tracking database; (2) Chocolate Confections Div., year 2000 budgeting help; (3) Foreign Trade, EOM invoice reconciliation; (4) Food Service, potato purchase reconciliation; (5) integration of the purchasing and inventory modules for SAP/R3. And other smaller jobs in between the listed positions. When Nestlé installed SAP, they were able to process accounting work nationally, so they moved some divisions from their Glendale location to Solon, Ohio.Since then, Nestlé has globalized their SAP system, so that daily accounting functions can be and are done anywhere in the world except Glendale and Solon, apparently. So buy Guittard or even Trader Joe's instead. If not to support American labor, at least do it because American companies do not buy cocoa harvested by slaves the same way Nestlé almost exclusively does.
