After a long career as a children’s educator, I returned to school and completed my accounting degree and master’s of data analytics. However, my goal was not just to finish my education, but to make a career change as well. I have always had a great affinity with numbers and problem solving, and I wanted to apply these skills in a new role. I was thrilled to find a position as staff accountant with Place, Inc. In this role, I have had an incredibly fulfilling experience and opportunity to build skills and cultivate relationships with a wide range of stakeholders in the real estate industry. Some of the highlights of my experience include analyzing financial data, preparing a comprehensive set of monthly financial statements. As Place is a Real Estate technology startup, I have found invaluable, the experience of being a part of a team involved in several major transitions in our business practices including a complete migration of company accounting data from Quickbooks to NetSuite.
