In addition to the accounting and cost accounting skills I would bring to

your client, I bring years of experience preparing financial analysis;

annual budgets, forecasts, product profitability, customer profitability,

all forms of ad hoc analysis.

I've been in manufacturing the last 16 years, 4+ years as plant controller,

5 years as senior financial analyst, 6 years as production control manager.

I all my roles in manufacturing I have either been in charge of or

involved in cost accounting, supporting both the accounting/inventory

valuation needs and customer profitability analysis.

Previous to my years in manufacturing, I spent 21 years in banking, the

last 7 years as controller and cashier of a national bank. Again, in

addition to the general accounting functions, I was responsible for cost

accounting and the financial reporting for the banks' asset/liability

management functions.

As plant controller, I would bring a disciplined approach to the monthly

close process, a focus on quality and accuracy to reporting and financial

analysis and extensive experience to the cost accounting component.

I would appreciate and welcome phone calls from you and your firm to

discuss available positions. Please keep this inquiry confidential. Thank

you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
