Dear Sir/Madam: Greetings.

I am currently employed at Miami Dade College (MDC) in Miami, FL. I am a manager of Compliance in Financial Controls for several grants in Career and Technical (CTE). I also manage the day-to-day accounting for several funds related to Workforce Education. I handle the general accounting, tuition receivables, fixed assets, accounts payable and chargeback billing initiatives for Workforce financial-aid funds designated for student accounts. I have over fifteen years of work experience supervising and managing functions and staff in accounting and finance, including budgets, payables, and collections and work with strict deadlines. During those years, I have also administered the receivables of several private funding and worked in auditing, compliance monitoring and reporting. I have been a financial accountant and auditor for many of those years in private and public institutions. At MDC,

I work closely with the finance and accounting departments to develop financial controls, chargebacks, accounting-close, and compliance with regulatory procedures

Establish costs studies and loss control procedures: prevention, reduction, payment approval procedures, vendor agreements, and reporting

Liaison with Federal and State departments on reporting and technical issues that require additional refinement

Enforce compliance policies with staff via monitoring as policies become guidelines for daily operations

Coordinate activities with management and regulators while continuing to refine guidelines

I have the enthusiasm for engaging in process-management while helping others. Correspondingly, I have an extensive background as a business professional, in the field of accounting, auditing, finance, cash management, budgeting, planning, general business practices, and finance, having worked for several Fortune 500 companies (please refer to resume) earning respected experience and achievements. I have worked with a diverse student population while administering stimulating class discussions.
