As a small business owner and entrepreneur myself, my value extends beyond being the "Chief Numbers Guy". I see my role as helping small businesses work at their optimum levels with the best available systems, structures, and processes in order to achieve the organization’s goals and bring success. The top and bottom lines are of paramount importance, of course, and every member of the team plays a role in driving those results.Innovation and technology are critical components in my formula to drive successful organizational outcomes. I’ve spearheaded new system implementations that have repeatedly delivered measurable improvements in efficiency, accuracy, and lowering overhead costs. I’m also deeply experienced in building or revamping sustainable, but agile financial infrastructures that will best serve the company in the short- and long-term.I’m a huge advocate of collaboration and I’m known for my sense of humor, transparency, and ability to diffuse highly charged situations. I’ve been able to work very effectively with different levels of employees and groups with conflicting goals. I’m a problem solver who isn’t afraid to jump in to tackle the task at hand and promote teamwork so that we can collectively achieve what we set out to do, and ideally share some humor in the process.Competitive Competencies→ Strategic Planning / Execution→ Collaborative Team Leadership→ Financial Operations and Accounting Management→ Process Improvements, Policies, and Procedures→ Multi-million dollar P&L / Budgeting→ Risk Management and Fraud Analysis → System Implementations and Technology → Accounting, Internal Controls, and Audits→ Cash Flow, Financial Reporting and Analysis→ Vendor Relations and Contracts→ C-Suite and BOD Advisor on Financial Management, Strategies, and Operations
