In addition to taking pride in mentoring my team and helping them grow in their professional endeavors, my track record includes consistently exceeding expectations for:- executing projects and delivering results,- showing a keen understanding of business fundamentals, and- demonstrating the ability to challenge the status quo and identify opportunities for process improvement. My unique background as a small business owner, an external / internal auditor, and a research analyst has given me a strong underlying professional skill set. I have the technical knowledge to understand the fundamental accounting and financial considerations; the analytical ability to interpret the numbers and identify the underlying business drivers; the business acumen to understand the business risks and relate them to the strengths and weaknesses of the various operational processes. These abilities have allowed me to successfully understand the key operational risks, objectives, and strategies of the companies I work with and to formulate many value-added improvement recommendations.My skill set is further enhanced by polished communication skills.
