Lake Elmo, MN 55042 *************@*******.***
Profile A finance professional with over 5 years of experience. My main focus has been
accounts receivable, but I also have experience in payroll and accounts payable. I am a
quick learner and also have a desire to continue learning new skills. I am results-driven
and have a history of making improvements in my department.
I have recently taken some time off of work to stay home with my infant son but now
that he is a year old, I am ready to get back into the work force. Having the time off has
left me feeling refreshed and eager to start a new chapter in my professional career.
