INTRODUCTION:
Personally, and professionally, I'm described as being an Analytical / Critical Thinker, who is conscientious and fair.
Quite personable and friendly, with the ability to get the job done, on time, and within budget.
I enjoy a challenge, consider myself a lifelong student, always ready to learn what I don't know, teach what I do know.
In one word, “versatile” is how I would be described, especially as a professional.
Professionally, I take heart and care in assuring the success of any business with which I'm associated.
My professional achievements can be listed in detail beginning with my understanding of the Financial Statement and how the company's financial success is achieved, while also having a clear understanding of how the company's expenses can negatively affect the profits of the company.
In addition, because I work closely with my staff, I get the opportunity to educate and train, which is the highlight of my professional interest, to inspire and contribute to the growth and benefit of other's knowledge and skill set.
Finally, and never to be left out.

I take great pleasure in assuring Excellent Customer Satisfaction.
There is self-satisfaction to be gained in contributing to your customer's satisfaction.
Achieving Excellent Customer Satisfaction is paramount in the success of any business.
SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
• Accounting – I’m a Business Administration graduate, with hands-on General Ledger and Financial Statement analysis experience as a Junior Accountant.
Accounts receivable / collection, accounts payable, cost accounting, budgeting, purchasing, invoicing, inventory control, capital expenditures, bank reconciliation, and contracts, are just a few areas of my financial background.
• Management – I have greater than 25 years combined experience in managing financials, capital assets & expenditures, membership associations, personnel, projects, land & buildings, quality control, safety, record keeping, and policies and procedures.
• Operations – My operations background includes material control, overseeing mechanical and electrical assembly for installation, product order, bid procurement, outside contractor negotiations and supervision, contract fulfillment, and expense control.
• Sales – As an Account Manager I drove an interest in the products and services we offered, while cutting the cost of doing business through price negotiations with our suppliers, yet still offering the best product available to our clientele.
Client retention was the major goal in mind here, not the “fast sell, then move on” approach.
Inventory control, cost and energy analysis, customer service, contract negations, invoicing, collection, project management, leasing agreements, warranty, and servicing national accounts.
Business to business sales & marketing.
