Objective

To utilize my education and work experience to contribute as a member of

the Company with knowledge and ability that add value to the Company.

Summary of Experience

During my experience as a Director of Finance, I developed as a

professional in the following areas:

Management - With my first opportunity to manage employees from both a

financial and operational perspective, I created drive and positivity in

the eyes of the employees who reported to me. The success was apparent

in the increased productivity and cash flow of the Company. Through the

use of managerial techniques learned from various sources, I was able to

increase the revenues of the Company's biggest trade show by 67% with a

100% increase in profit from the show a year prior.

Consulting/Work Retention - When I arrived as the Director of Finance, I

quickly saw that the Company was struggling to maintain cash flow to

cover operating expenses. I decided to provide financial services to

the members of the association in order to increase cash flow. Within

six months I locked down two contracts with potential for annual

renewal.

AIS Creation - Upon arrival to the association, I was hired to replace a

CPA firm who provided bookkeeping and financial services to the

association for 20 years. The organization had no ability to transfer

the accounting information system to Quickbooks. My first project was

to create internal controls and processes through an Accounting

Information System that I developed from a trial balance given to me by

the CPA firm. I created the entire system in a matter of two months and

issued financial statements within the same amount of time. I took my

time at the association to focus on internal control and compliance with

standards. When I arrived, there were significant deficiencies within

the accounting process. The controls I put in place, to my knowledge,

have created better compliance and decreased the risk of fraud from

within the association.

During two years of business valuation and litigation support

experience, I developed an in-depth background in the following areas:

Data Analysis - Analyzing company specific and financial data provided

by clients. This involves reviewing the materials received,

documenting the data, and arranging a list of what is still required

such as, tax returns, off-balance sheet items, etc. This area also

includes applying financial analysis to the data received which is

used in a final report.

Report Writing - Communicating to the client the analyses that were

performed and the final results. Each report requires nine

individual chapters including industry, economic, financial, and

valuation analyses. Since my immediate boss holds the CPA

designation, I am also required to write in accordance with the

AICPA's Statement on Standards for Valuation Services Number 1.

Website Development - Maintaining and updating the Company website in

accordance with any new standards or updates to the Company or

industry of business valuation.

Industry Knowledge - Researching the industry in which the client's

business operates. This involves finding growth, threats,

weaknesses, and median valuation multiples. Industry knowledge

allows for a "sanity check" for the indicated results.

Team Work - Working together to perform quality work with accurate

results. This requires performing tasks in a dynamic office that

requires everyone's individual input and combined ideas to provide

the client with excellent service.

Employment History

Rural Water Association of Arizona Tucson, Arizona (3/2010-Present)

March 1, 2010 to Present Director of Finance/Resource Development.

As the Director of Finance and Resource Development, I performed and

oversaw all financial responsibilities from within the organization

while managing the operations of our trade shows. Due to the financial

constraint that the company faced, I was in charge of bringing in

consulting work where I performed contractual financial services for

various clients who are all members of the association. During my time

at the Rural Water Association of Arizona, I used discounted cash flow

analysis and intuition to make decisions on a managerial level that

increased revenues outside of federal program funds by 75%. The net

income grew by 131% during my first year of employment at the

association. This is highlighted by two different segments that I

managed where revenues grew by 80% and 90% respectively over the course

of a year.

analyst I was required to appraise businesses based on a specified

standard of value, such as fair market value. Part of the determination

of the value of a company is financial analysis. Throughout my tenure

at BJY, I performed valuations in the following fields: Employee Stock

Ownership Plans (ESOPs), litigation support, construction, technology,

research and development, and microfinance. The duties of a valuation

analyst are to define an engagement, analyze the information provided by

the client, perform financial analyses, write an appraisal report and

issue the report. While performing valuation analyst duties for BJY, I
