Areas of Expertise

System Implementations

In the property management world, the disconnect between vendors, property managers, and accountants was a gap that needed to be examined. I was able to collaborate with the team to research and find a solution. After designing a process and strategically challenging myself to think outside the box, I came up with a tool to help all associates have the most recent cash balance and an open payables report. I had the responsibility to design a program, create a new process, evaluate it, and then train others on how it works and why.

Finance & Accounting

I started my career off in the insurance world, selling life, health, and property and casualty insurance. I enjoyed coaching my clients how to prepare for life’s unexpectable nature and how to stay organized. I found myself spending time creating spreadsheets and cleaning up financials for fun. This led me into doing the full cycle accounting duties and soon becoming a lead expert and supervisor of 10 associates in the Midwest and Canada.

Process Improvement

I love strategic planning and technology. For me, finding the most efficient ways to make the systems work is super rewarding. I like to dive in and push the system to all its capabilities. I enjoy creating/updating SOP’s and challenging myself to think outside the box. With the never-ending change in technology, streamlining new processes allow myself and my clients to be successful.

Client Relations

I enjoy listening, understanding, and empathizing to solve a problem. Helping clients achieve their goals is a way for them to organize change and create their story. Paying attention to my client’s needs really helps build great relationships. I have had the opportunity to strive to always have the most recent product knowledge and always challenge myself to never stop learning.
