Walter Wilson Email & Phone Number

As Junior Staff Accountant for MetLife Stadium, I am responsible for the processing of all incoming invoices and I assist with internal and external information requests. I am responsible for assisting with the accounts receivable cycle (from billing to cash application to revenue recognition). Every day I prepare, examine, and analyze accounting records, financial statements, and other financial reports to assess accuracy, completeness, and conformance to reporting and procedural standards. I love sports and in my free time enjoy hanging out with the guys and placing money on my dream team.
