I have worked in the accounting field for over ** years. I managed an H&R Block Office for three years in Michigan. I was able to increase the client list from 150 to 600 clients in a small community in the upper peninsula of Michigan through excellent customer service and sound management practices. I also had the opportunity to relocate the H&R Block office to a new location and managed the building renovation from beginning to completion.

I was an Accounting Technician for six years with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) at the Newberry Operations Service Center. My administrative area covered five counties including six field offices with multiple divisions represented in each office. My responsibilities included accounts payable as well as assisting field managers and supervisors with finance, procurement and administration of facility and property management for the department. The position required comprehensive technical knowledge in the areas of contract management, which included personal service contracts and capital outlay. I also prepared, audited and analyzed financial reports in conjunction with management.

While the agency sets broad policy, each division/office/bureau has the authority to interpret the policy and to establish specific procedures and practices for implementation. That diversity required me to use sound organizational skills, efficient training methods, effective communication and prioritizing.

Most recently I worked as a staff accountant for homeowner management companies in Nevada. This included accounts payable as well as reconciling and preparing monthly financial statements for 30 + HOA’s.

I would make a valuable contribution to your company because of a diverse accounting knowledge and a positive attitude towards learning new systems and processes required to perform necessary tasks.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope to have the opportunity to discuss any opening with you in person.

Sincerely

Dana Massey

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you on the behalf of Dana Massey as a reference. Dana served with me for over two years on the Genevieve Court HOA Board. Her responsibilities included managing a community budget, administering board meetings, securing vendor contracts, and enforcing the covenants of our neighborhood. Dana is a very hard-working individual. She went above and beyond the requirements of her position. As president, she volunteered countless hours to ensure our community's needs were met. Dana is also a very organized and detail-oriented person. She was always prepared and offered many ideas to help our HOA run more efficiently. Dana is a high-character individual who will make sure that things are done the right way. I would highly recommend her to be part of your team. If you have any questions or would like to contact me, my information is below.

Sincerely,
