Work Experience
CACI – Functional Analyst, EXPERT (Current Position)
My career path and responsibilities were more of a system development path so as of August 2013 I
moved permanently into working on system evaluations, enhancements, and implementations.
Some of the tasks I am currently working on are automating the Deltek ET TC load into CostPoint,
evaluating a MSP tool, a major contract system transition, and a Procure to Pay Pipeline. I also
designed and implemented into live production two databases that CACI currently uses to manage
and pay their vendors. I implemented into live production 500+ sub employees onto an electronic
timekeeping system so project managers could better track those costs and meet contract
requirements.
CACI – Executive Director, Accounting
Along with all the duties listed below, I implemented several enhancements to the invoice review and
signature process. The 15+ CACI project managers previously had to travel to the Corporate
Headquarters in Ballston to review and sign their monthly invoices. I created a SharePoint site where
all of those invoices are scanned and saved so those managers can now review those invoices on
line from any place they have connectivity. This pleased our client because the CACI project
managers could remain at the document centers to handle any issues that arose. I also changed the
storage process of those delivered invoices from paper copy versions to scanned files on dual CDs for
a working and master copy. This eliminated an entire room of filing cabinets which saved the
company money on office rental space. I also made several enhancements to the billing system that
enabled the Accountants to prepare those invoices faster and more accurate.
CACI – Senior Director, Accounting
Along with all the duties listed below under Director, I implemented several new systems and
enhancements to already existing systems. I moved the 700+ temp employees from tracking their
time in spreadsheets to logging their time in electronic timecards. I worked with the programmer to
develop a Match program which automatically verified that the agency invoice was billing us the
correct hours and rate for the labor category used. That program pulled data directly into a flat file
for uploading into payment vouchers. This saved time for the Accounts Payable staff as they no
longer had to re-key certain data that the temporary employee already keyed when allocating their
timecard (therefore eliminated duplicate keying efforts). This new process validated charge codes at
entry point (the time the sub employee keyed those hours into their timecard) so those errors could
be fixed at the front end of the payment process rather than before at the backend when AP was
manually keying allocations into vouchers. This new process resulted in faster payments to our
vendors and subsequently faster to bill those hours to our client. It also increased the accuracy of
our commitments as any unpaid hours now could be auto loaded into commitment reports where
before someone had to figure those out using many spreadsheets and manually key them into the
commitment reports. The accountants were also now able to calculate more accurate cost accrual
entries to better match costs to revenue for fixed unit price hours.
October 1999
CACI - Director, Accounting
I was the manager of 6-10 Accountants in all areas of Accounting including revenue recognition,
billing, reporting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, audit schedules and
responses, reconciliations, month end and year end close tasks. I became very experienced in ad hoc
queried reports using CP reports, MSQuery, and MSAccess . I am able to prepare those ad hoc
reports the client needs within minutes by using one of those querying software applications via
criteria commands (SQL statements). The client has come to rely heavily on my ability to give them
the information they need as fast as they need it. I also designed and implemented several
databases for the Accounts Payable staff which moved the vendor invoice approval process from
paper copies floating around in interoffice mail to a database where those invoices were scanned and
could be reviewed and approved by CACI employees all over the country. I created these databases
to use a parallel workflow so that multiple people could resolve noted issues at the same time (most
workflow systems use a straight line design which takes much longer to get records to their
resolution stage). These new databases utilized auto email notifications with tier escalation features
if records became stagnate. One of the databases also had an option to reject invoices back to
vendors and that also utilized the pre-scheduled auto email notifications which saved A/P staff time
in having to call vendors. These databases saved money for the company in overhead staffing costs,
they centralized all invoices in one place with their full history of updates archived, and gave CACI
the ability to get vendor invoices paid faster, those expenditures billed faster, and revenue
recognized faster.
September 1995 - October 1999
CACI - Accountant 4, Department Manager
My most important accomplishment under of this title and timeframe was designing the billing
system for the Mega contract. I worked directly with a programmer for 3 months providing him with
the client requirements. I laid out which fields were needed in each table of this relational table
database and sketched out the format and data fields needed for every invoice and funding report. I
performed testing of each module of the database and provided those results and feedback daily
until all issues were resolved and then I implemented it into a live environment. This database now
successfully handles all of the billing and reporting for this contract which currently bills up to $8M a
month.
October 1994 - September 1995
CACI - Accountant 3
I supervised the Commercial A/P department in all vendor invoice payments. I also supervised one
Junior Accountant with Client Billing and Reporting. I developed and enforced Accounts Payable
procedures and made improvements to each step in the process. I assisted in the preparation of
Internal and External Progress Reports. I processed travel expense vouchers and vendor invoice
vouchers. I calculated budget reports for the client by I collecting data and generating monthly
status reports. Prepared and entered month end journal entries and analyzed results of profit and
loss statements.
October 1992 - October 1994
CACI - Accountant 2
My duties included revenue recognition, client billing and reporting, accounts payables allocation and
review, management reporting, etc. I supervised one Accounting Assistant in all of those areas.
October 1991 - October 1992
CACI – Accountant 1
I prepared monthly invoices and client funding reports. I keyed timecards and revised timecards
daily. I resolved and resubmitted rejected client invoices. I prepared and tracked client commitment
reports and calculated and submitted retroactive invoices and payouts to employees. I calculated
and posted monthly revenue and balance sheet journal entries and reviewed and approved travel
expense reports.
August 1991 - October 1991
Holiday Inn, Arlington VA - Front Desk Representative
This was a temporary job assignment while I was interviewing for Accountant positions just after
graduating from college. My duties included checking guests in and out of the hotel, answering the
PBX phone grid, making reservations for guests, concierge research for guests, and general
bookkeeping and sales tasks.
May 1990 - August 1991
Keller and Heckman Law Firm - Accounting Assistant
I prepared monthly invoices for the law firm clients (both manually and computerized), processed
and edited attorneys' timesheets, provided support in the validation and distribution of petty cash,
assisted in the reconciliation of personal accounts for payroll, and performed client account
maintenance tasks. Reconciled, organized, and distributed monthly Management Reports to the Firm
Partners for their review and projections. I thought of ways to be faster and more efficient and
implemented them with my supervisor’s approval. One example was creating a centralized shared
drive where the 15+ secretaries could save the attorney narratives to instead of emailing them to
me.
Spring 1990
Capitol Financial Consultants, Inc. - Investment Management Internship
I worked directly with Principals of Capitol Financial Consultants, Inc. analyzing equity investments,
mutual funds, and limited partnerships. I prepared client portfolio reports and researched client base
as part of the company's strategic business plan. I used asset allocation techniques and various
research publications in assisting with preparation of client presentations. Tracked stock prices daily
and updated client portfolios appropriately.
May 1985 - May 1990

Worked in all facets of the hotel business including: Night Auditor, Front Desk Representative, Room
Reservations, Block Event Sales, and Pool Operator/Lifeguard. I certified in each department which

and customer service.
