Municipal Lending and Finance Accountant

Dallas, Texas, US

As a college intern, I was enjoyed working directly with Restaurant and Franchisee store managers. Through this hands-on experience, I was able to assist store managers with questions on their financials and provide support from the corporate level. I'm proud to have discovered and rectified a systemic over-billing error by the State of Florida.
