As an Associate Accounting Analyst for Kohler Company from 2006 - 2007, I gained a strong understanding of corporate financial structures. Not only was I able to refine my accounting and financial skills, but I also applied critical reasoning to generate recommendations to improve the forecasting process. These recommendations lead to more accurate forecasts which influenced many company initiatives.

Sarbanes-Oxley had recently been put into place, so my educating the employees at these locations on its requirements was extremely important.
