I’ve prepared budgets, lead ERP conversions, lead accounting integrations of acquired companies, coordinated due diligence for acquisitions, lead a first-year SOX implementation, performed a first-year SFAS123R adoption, contributed to preparation of an S-1 filing, lead 10-Q and 10-K filings, lead the acceleration of accounting closes, lead an accounting organization as the company scaled up its transaction volume, and served as Corporate Controller for publicly traded companies.I have an MBA degree and CPA certification and am proficient in Spanish. Also, I love watching my sons play ice hockey, and I've ridden my bicycle around the 72 mile loop of Lake Tahoe and hiked Half-Dome.Specialties: Revenue Recognition • Internal Control • Budgeting and Forecasting • Sarbanes Oxley Compliance • Financial Systems Integration and Optimization • ERP Conversion • Financial Analysis • Business Process Re-engineering • Acquisitions • GAAP • SEC Reporting, 10-K, 10-Q, S-1, S-8, • Presentations • Project Management • Leadership • Problem Solving • Effective Communication
