With over 11 years of experience as a controller, I have developed strong competencies in process improvement, analytical skills, and administration. I am passionate about creating efficient and effective systems for managing the financial operations of a design + build firm. I work closely with the senior management, project managers, and clients of ZEN Associates, a company that translates clients' dreams into memorable and enduring environments for living.As the controller of ZEN Associates, I oversee the accounting, budgeting, reporting, and compliance functions of the company. I am responsible for ensuring the accuracy, timeliness, and completeness of the financial statements, as well as the adherence to the accounting standards and regulations. I also implement and monitor internal controls, policies, and procedures to safeguard the company's assets and mitigate risks. Some of my achievements include streamlining the invoicing and payment processes, automating the reconciliation and reporting systems, and leading the accounting team. I use my process improvement and analytical skills to identify and resolve issues, optimize performance, and increase profitability.
