MORGAN KEEGAN (March
1996 - April 2013)
Responsible for system support for various back office business
applications systems. Among these back office systems are the
following: Accounts Payable system, Payroll system, Tax Reporting, New
Accounts, and IRA system. We also supported our base system for the
company which was a brokerage system - Sungard PHASE3 system using COBOL in
TANDEM/HP nonstop environment.
Accounts Payable System
- Requirements from user, analyze, code, test and implementation of
the redesign of accounts payable checks. We went from using check on old
mainframe printers to checks printed on a laser printer.
- Requirements from user, met with third party company (Asentinel),
analyze, code, test and implementation of a programs that created input
files from TEMS system, created invoices, reporting and sent a file back to
TEMS system that show check number and payment date.
- Created input screens to process and create rent invoices for
payment. Also created General Ledger journal entries. Rent is allocated
over several branch and departments. Created reporting for the users
regarding the payment of the rent payments. Requirements from the user,
analyze, code, test and implementation of the project.
- Create programs to pay American Express bill for travel. Our third
party has change various times over the years. Meet with the user for
requirements, Analyze, code, test, and implement the changes.
- I participate in several Accounts Payable conversions over the
years. When Regions bought us in 2000, the invoices were paid at Regions.
When they knew they were going to sell us, we converted back to Morgan
Keegan to pay our invoices. These conversions consist of meeting with the
users for requirements, documenting the requirements, analyze, coding,
testing and implementation of the conversion.
Payroll System
- The main support of the payroll system consist of 401k and broker
payroll. We use Peoplesoft to pay our employees. This change over the
years too.
- Rewrote the payroll system. I modify 40 to 50 servers,
requestors and programs. I converted payroll inscribed file to SQL tables.
This helps with processing time and just the flexibility to perform quick
enforms. I met with the user for requirements, document requirements,
analyze, code, test and implementation.
- Participate in various conversions over the years. When Regions
bought us, we converted to payroll system that Regions used. Then when they
knew we were being sold, we converted back to Morgan Keegan Payroll system.
Then when Raymond James bought us, we were paid at Raymond James. We still
had to keep up with employee detail at Morgan Keegan for vesting purposes.
Tax Reporting
- Wrote the server that was use to transfer the tax information
from Tandem to turbo tax for our customers.
- Work with print vendor - create a file to print year-end
statements, 1099-R, 1099-MISC, 1099-Q, and 1099-ESA. At one time, we
printed our internal 1099-MISC and 1099-R in-house.
- Wrote various programs for the tax reporting department to check
accounts and cusps regarding if they should be reported or not reported.
IRA Department
- Basic support of various screens and programs for this
department. Always had different requirements that needed to be met over
the years.
- Help with reporting of the 1099-ESA, 1099-Q, 1099-R and 1099-S.
New Accounts
- Met with users, analyze, code, test and implement various
projects that run once a year. They are the following:
Bnotice - actually get a file from the IRS that tells us
either the social security numbers or name doesn't match. We sent
something out to our customers, letting them know we need the correct SSN
or correct name. What was reported to IRS was wrong.
W-8 Certification - Checking various paperwork that needs
to be in-house before the customer makes a trade.
Inactive fees - This project includes about 30 different
checks before we actually charged the customer or broker a fee. This makes
the company at least 250,000 or more a year.
