Accountant
CurrentI came to the SETI Institute in September ’16 as a part-time Receptionist from Robert Half. About a month later, I was asked to come on full-time to be their receptionist. January '17 I was asked to move over to the Accounting Department to be their General Ledger Accountant. I officially became an employee in March of ’17.My work currently is the Main Accounts Payable Accountant. We use Bill.com as our payment system with Intacct as our Accounting system. My duties include creating cost-centers, updating awards, updating revenue contracts, and invoicing. My work duties before relocating to New York State as a Full-Time Teleworker included preparing deposits slip/receipts, review and enter donations, deposit checks at the bank, Pre-reconciling 3 banks, Keeping track of Equipment for NASA and other Sub-Contracts. In the beginning, as a full-time employee, I was still acting as the NASA Airborne Astronomy Ambassador Admin Assistant for the SOFIA program that is associated with the SETI Institute. I have trained three individuals to take over the front desk, which is the only Administration Assistant to the entire office. My Duties for the NASA AAA Programs was to maintain files for the AAA SOFIA flight, monitor completion status, and scheduled SOFIA pre-flight arrangements for AAAs in Palmdale, while also managing travel and lodging arrangements for AAAs and flight escorts during SOFIA flight weeks.
