I am a finance professional with 20+ years experience in finance and payroll processing. My objective is to make Executive Managers more efficient by providing accurate financial processing and reporting across all areas of finance. I have worked in bookkeeping, payroll, tax payments, retirement reporting and auditing, budgeting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general financial reporting and GAAP accounting. I have supervised teams of clerks and analysts, overseeing their general workload and reviewing and approving payments and reports prior to processing.Work in finance has afforded me the privilege of leading and collaborating with teams throughout my organizations, including Executive Management, Human Resources, Payroll, Finance, IT, and Employee Unions. I have come to learn that communication and good rapport with each of these departments is crucial to building consistently accurate financial processes.TECHNICAL SKILLS: For the last 10+ years I have worked with Banner by Ellucian, an Oracle-based database software, at the community college level for querying and reporting. I am also proficient in all Microsoft products including Access for database querying and report building. I am trained in Quickbooks for accounting and ADP for payroll. I am also an expert on California State Teachers Retirement System (CALSTRS) reporting and auditing.PROFESSIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:-Directed payroll team to bring City College of San Francisco into compliance with CALSTRS by auditing and correcting thousands of erroneous retirement records that had existed in that system since the early 1990s-In conjunction with IT at CCSF I automated retirement reporting to state agencies CALSTRS and CALPERS throughs script writing and database implementation. Previously much of the data was edited manually opening the door for erroneous reporting-I have cleaned up sloppy financial reporting and developed previously non-existent financial reporting for several companies based on historical records and bank statements and brought them into compliance with GAAP accounting principlesI truly enjoy my work in finance - numbers just make sense to me. I take pride in the work I do and strive to deliver high quality results with integrity. I look forward to hearing from hiring managers that feel their companies may benefit from my expertise.
