Articulate, ethics based individual with dedication and commitment to exceptional service, while also maintaining a functioning office environment.

Skills
Proficient in all Microsoft Programs. Able to adapt to internal software efficiently and quickly. Can thrive independently as well as in a team setting. Self-starter, efficient, and motivated. Regularly type 50+ wpm. Took the initiative to set up new procedures and processes to ensure accurate and timely completion of daily tasks.
Much of my experience has included the management of large project budgets, bank requisitions, accounts payable and receivable, invoice creation and management, as well as payroll, credit card, and many other account reconciliations. In addition to managing those tasks, I created the budgets for many projects that included progress payment schedules, time and material management and the creation and execution of full contracts for every specific trade or supplier involved in each single project I was responsible for. This includes the necessary expertise in Quickbooks and other financial programs and platforms. I am also proficient in all Microsoft Office Software Programs, including Excel and Project. Other programs include Adobe, MailChimp, Marks System, BuilderTrend, Quicken, Google Docs, Docusign, Dropbox, Constant Contact, Back End Website Management, and beyond. If I am not familiar with a particular program, I will learn it with ease, and will adapt very quickly.

I have known Ada for several years through our respective memberships in an industry association. We have worked together on several committees, and I have personally experienced and benefited from her dedication, organization, attention to detail, and thoroughness. She takes the time to understand what is needed, communicates thoughtfully, and follows through until her client/customer is more than satisfied. At one time she was also working for a contractor who was doing work for me, and I was extremely pleased with her assistance in navigating their processes. I would recommend Ada without hesitation!
