Beginning as a member of the opening team for this five-star property, I remained for over 18 years until I left on very good terms to start my own business. During that time, I worked in various positions in the Accounting Department, including Auditor, Accounts Payable, and General Cashier. Starting as an auditor I was responsible for balancing the sales to the settlements for all daily transactions, processing credit card payments, and preparing a daily business report for the entire management team. As General Cashier, I maintained a cash fund of $60,000.00; issued and audited cash floats to cashiers and department managers; and prepared the daily bank deposit, while assisting with Accounts Payable. In the Accounts Payable position I was responsible for the timely and accurate payment of over twenty million dollars in annual expenses, including invoices, expense reports, and check requests. Also posted journal entries at month end to accrue items received. I also took on the extra responsibility of responding to and following up with credit card disputes. Four Seasons was an excellent learning ground, in which I learned very effective accounting principles which I have been able to implement in other organizations to this day.
