Functionality of finance and accounting operational processes are dependent upon consistent calculations and auditable results. I use financial statements and their trial balance mapping to unlock critical insights into business performance. I am an advocate of team success and synergistic communication. I establish team transparency by developing and implementing close checklists in order to provide timely financials and financial reporting package requirements.
I have been at the forefront of due diligence reviews and successfully integrated several acquired companies into one operating business. Familiar with private equity carve-outs and international transactions. I've completed transitional services of creating an opening balance sheet from an existing trial balance into a new accounting software. I also have experience in foreign currency revaluations upon financial consolidation.

I built a tool to track the success and percentage of completion to test cases and stay on time and budget. I successfully execute system implementations by providing a solid foundation of requirements and documentation.
