My real strengths spring to life when preparing and delivering financial statements and analysis. Drawn to working with multiple entities and consolidations, I live for that moment when all of the vast detail is distilled down to the point when it can 'tell its story': The numbers speak to users' specific needs in a format that they can use to make sound business assessments and decisions. My experience as a CPA gives me the expertise and persuasive communication skills to manage external audits, practice due diligence and reflect a company in its best light. Over the years, this has resulted in improved relationships with lenders, governing agencies and stakeholders.Accounting must be collaborative in a successful business. I have worked across departmental disciplines to capture operational data clearly and concisely; on time, the first time. These successes have been achieved through optimizing software while training and inspiring staff.
