Qualification Summary

I enjoy studying and I am planning on taking additional

courses/certificates that will benefit the company. One of my future

objectives is to become cross functional.

Researched and found another accounting software program that could be

programmed to consolidate three separate companies (remove intercompany

transactions and profits etc) in a fraction of the time with less error.

Researched and found another method of entering data into systems without

manually entering data. Hence reducing data entry input time and error.

Learned how to create new variables (outside the usual accounting

variables) and custom design new invoices, lists and reports that tailor to

the information needs of a particular firm.

Added another line of revenue to existing product. Custom Brand new

motorbikes cost 28,000 to build and retail for 33,000. GM 5,000 at most. I

found a popular International rental motorbike company with a good

insurance policy to form a franchise opportunity. The idea was to rent out

some of the new bikes to cover the cost of building them. (It also

involved Tourism ideas). Once the cost of building was covered, sell the

bikes used for between 6,000 to 12,000 dollars. A better GM, with a better

probability of selling.
