Keeping the books for a fun, local, family owned fifties Diner.

For 16 years, I've been running a 15 restaurant Taco Bell franchise office from soup to nuts, following a 13 period calendar. Paid all bills, monitored all daily deposits, troubleshooting issues with banking, safes, vendors, etc. Reconciled all accounts using QuickBooks Online. Prepared all accounts @ YE, making as little work as possible for our CPA. Made all EOY adjusting journal entries as directed by CPA. Plays well with others while keeping a sharp eye on the books.

In my position at Changing Hands Bookstore I started out as a bookseller, then became the in-store bookkeeper before later becoming the floor manager. In addition to customer service and general cash handling as a bookseller, my bookkeeping position included balancing daily deposits, paying invoices and communicating regarding exception items. I also ran daily credit card batches and rang in hundreds of transactions after large author events. As a floor manager I wrote the training manual and trained all incoming employees on customer service, register and cash handling procedures. At Changing Hands I also had many administrative duties. In addition to being the floor manager and bookkeeper, I was on the advisory board for the bookstore, and enjoyed being part of the decision making process for where we were headed and how we could best serve our community. I also implemented many procedures and helped keep the store stocked as far as supplies, forms, and other materials needed to run smoothly. I was able to learn new systems easily and then train staff on procedures keeping a positive solution-oriented outlook to ensure smooth transitions among staff.

Maintained extreme accuracy while processing submittals from the Maricopa County Sheriff's office. I was careful to follow protocol when compiling submittals to support prosecutors in court, ensuring details were clear and accurate. Occasionally I would fill in for the County Attorney's Admin Assistant in answering phones during lunch hours. In that position, I utilized the Microsoft Outlook interface for processing messages.

Processed child support payments for a few months, and then moved to the Reconciliation Desk. Reconciled multi-million dollar support payment deposits while protecting the integrity of exception items.

Efficiently dispatched up to 30 emergency road service tow trucks using a two-way radio, filling in for supervisor when needed.

Took care of balancing each daily deposit. Worked on floor as necessary.
