I was brought in to assist with the 2011 audit as it pertained to preparing PBC lists, schedules, reconciliations and analysis. The 2011 audit preparation was significantly behind schedule. I worked considerable hours building schedules and preparing reconciliations that hadn't been brought forward from the 2010 audit. I did significant research and data.

I was brought in to facilitate the sale and subsequent phase out of Capital Analysts as a Western Southern entity. With little training or supervision, I was able to ramp up quickly and learn the operations and the accounting system. This included coordinating all of the daily functions including commission accounting, monthly close, reconciliations.
