I am a seasoned professional with 9+ years of accounting operations and financial management experience in diverse sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for reporting accuracy, as well as for business operations and team leadership, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company growth and success throughout my career. Professional focal points include accounting principles, AP/AR, financial reporting, month/year end close, account reconciliation, data analysis, process optimization, critical thinking, and best practices. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication and prioritization skills, as well as business acumen, systems analysis, project management, and problem solving to support efficiency and maximum returns. Currently, I am the Event Accountant III with Pollen. Under my leadership, I identify, analyze, and remediate material variances and overages, such as budget to contracted and actual spend, as well as forecast cash outflow requirements resulting from key changes. I also perform cost allocations between platform and financial statement P&Ls and create event closeout packages segregated between internal and external needs. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to ensure the company’s financial support structure is driving the business forward with minimal expenditures.Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, accounting and business expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget.
