I handle auditing cash, food, and expenses for 2-3 geographical areas of corporate owned stores (about 130 stores at the moment). This includes: reconciling cash and credit cards for each store daily and investigating shortages/overages, completing weekly reports analyzing cash and missing sales, and creating ad hoc reports for managers at varying levels to help them understand cash and expense fluctuations, creating and uploading journal entries. I also complete month end audits of each of these stores and analyse/explain expense variations, and simultaneously lead the gift card team in the activation, adjustment, and balance transfer of gift cards for corporate, franchisee, and 3rd party customers.

I provide unemployment assistance to customers by helping to handle the individual claims brought against their company. I contact individual stores to follow up on claimants to discern the facts as to the nature of their unemployment. I maintain an updated awareness on changes to unemployment law and help to make sure that my customers are aware of these changes and what it means for the responses I'll need. I customize how I interact based on the wishes of the individual client and work to simplify the claims for the clients without sacrificing the quality of my answers to the states.
