“Nobody's a natural. You work hard to get good and then work to get better. It's hard to stay on top.” This is a quote I live my life by, and it shows just what kind of work ethic I put into each and every job or task that I am involved in.It is this hard work that led me to graduate from the University of Central Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting, a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance, and also a minor in Business Administration. I graduated with a 3.70 GPA and cum laude honors. Throughout my education, I studied many different areas of accounting and worked on a variety of projects. Some of these projects include: -- Accounting software analysis -- Analysis of financial statements -- Creation and preparation of spreadsheets and financial statements -- Analyzing and accounting for governmental entities -- Tracking job costs As a financial controller, I must routinely figure out and solve problems that arise every day. My quick-thinking and analytical skills help me in figuring out solutions to these problems. I am responsible for the day-to-day financial and accounting related operations of the company. Through the preparation, presentation, and analysis of various cost and financial reports, I can predict and solve any issues that I feel may present themselves. Helping the company run as smoothly and efficiently as possible is my number one priority. What really sets me apart from other professionals, is my willingness and desire to learn new things and the drive to keep getting better. Some skills that help me achieve this include: -- Ability to multitask and meet strict deadlines -- Proficiency in technology and software systems, including HCSS, Viewpoint, and Excel -- Adaptability -- Teamwork and social skills -- Attention to detail and accuracy
