I am in search of an accounting position to best use my thirty plus years’ experience in all aspects of accounting and payroll. I would love to assist your company in maintaining financials that you can feel confident with and overseeing the payroll process. I have been responsible for payrolls for 12 to 1,000+ employees in all different settings. I am very flexible and adaptable. I have experience in healthcare, restaurant, and private equity mergers and acquisitions accounting but that does not mean that I am limited to those fields.
