I planned and energized the financial management

competitive small and mid-size companies in
multiple industries. Through my knowledge of

and information management tools to strengthen
corporate performance in every measurable area.

consistently improved the productivity, accuracy
and speed in processing of complex, detailed
financial documents in environments where error and
cost overruns were unacceptable.
Establishing business processes and tools critical

Analyzing, identifying and eliminating barriers to
transparency and compliance
