I am a CPA with 10+ years of financial accounting and regulatory compliance experience in the education/non-profit sector. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for overseeing accounting, payroll, and financial processes for a multi-site organization. As such, I have consistently exceeded budgetary and performance goals and I am adept at achieving maximum operational output with minimal resource expenditure. Professional focal points include accounting, payroll, A/P, A/R, purchasing, account reconciliation, financial accounting, budgeting, governance, regulatory compliance, auditing, financial modeling, and reporting. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication skills, organizational skills, as well as financial acumen and GAAP expertise to support efficiency and maximum returns. Currently, I am the Director of Accounting with the Academies of Math & Science. Under my leadership, I guide an accounting team of eight to oversee accounting activities for the 501c3 non-profit charter school network with 10 campuses and a stand-alone charter management organization with annual revenue of $90 million. I also enforce internal controls, segregate duties, and monitor financial statement accuracy in compliance with GAAP principles. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, stakeholders, and the accounting team to brainstorm and implement process improvements to enhance departmental and organizational performance.Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, accounting and management expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget.
