Heather Edwards, Mba Email & Phone Number

Myrtle Beach, Sc, Us

In this position, I trained other contractors and employees on the procedures for accounts payable and accounts receivable processing. I now review work related to each of those functions as an approver. I prepare actuals vs. budget reports for monthly budget meetings with department leads. With 3 audits being conducted simultaneously, I played a large part in the audit fieldwork and 990 preparation. A process improvement for 1099s was initiated early in the year so as to be better organized for 2024 production. As the program administrator for our credit cards, I spearheaded the restructuring of our travel and expense policy by conducting research, rewriting our policy to be more encompassing, and initiating the rollout. This began the process of reviewing and updating our procurement policy to ensure more responsible spending of dollars.Analytics became an area of interest in this position where I prepared and reviewed multiple reports related to travel and expense to create more equitable procedures for employees which also led to responsible spend.

I was the first full time Finance employee hired at Community Solutions. I took on the task of learning how the company worked with all it's sister companies and subsidiaries. This was by far the most complicated company structure I had dealt with. I began processing accounts payables and receivables once my knowledge of the company was established. I soon began seeking process improvement such as revamping our credit card system, and also collaborated on the new travel policy and platform. Eventually I was needed to do higher level analysis such as 990 preparation and budget analysis, which is when I was promoted to the Senior level.

I took on more responsibilities than assigned in my previous role as Accounting Specialist, so the Chamber created a new title to encompass all my job duties. in the previous year I took on the tasks of the accounts payable credit card for reconciliation and vendor payments. in addition, I handled all GL reconciliations, previously completed by my supervisor. During 2020, I created spreadsheets for accounts payable and vendor management during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure accuracy and to be able to share to bridge the communication gaps.I joined the MBACC Wellness Committee in June 2020 and became responsible for the newsletter.

At the Chamber I handle daily tasks such as payment processing, vendor inquiries, and contract billing. On a weekly basis I pay approved invoices by credit card and process payments to vendors. At the end of each month I balance all GL accounts to the balance sheet and organize any backup for the reconciliations. During the summer months I was also responsible for helping the sales team bill the CVB contracts. I worked closely with the Grand Strand Business Alliance to provide them with their own invoices from the billing process, as well as manage a spreadsheet that listed their allocations. In addition, I was part of the team that conducted an RFP for banking services, ultimately leading to the company moving all of our accounts to a new institution, as well as implementing the Positive Pay system. I worked closely with Interdyn to install the features in our Great Plains system, as well as with the bank in order to ensure that we had all the correct documentation and procedures in place.

I started working for Asset Campus Housing only a few days after graduating with my Bachelors degree. During the first six months, the General Manager left the company and her responsibilities were divided between the Leasing Manager and myself. After a new General Manager was hired, the property went through a sale to a new owner, and then another almost a year later. Despite constant change in the company, I was able to help maintain the property during an absence of leadership, lower delinquency, and help increase leasing.
