EXPERIENCE

****-******* ******** ********** *******, TN/Pompano Beach, FL

Since I decided to move to South Florida, I have been working in a temporary contract position. My current assignment is Internal Auditor at Sedgwick CMS.

2007- 2016 Ava Wilder, CPA Memphis, TN

Private practice

I began my private practice while still employed as a Controller. I obtained my first six clients within two months from referrals. From that point forward, I have broadened my range of professional experience. I worked closely with management and business owners to maximize their potential through effective accounting and operational procedures. My clients have benefitted from my ability to envision the “big picture” and help them carry them out. My clients have included wealthy individuals, doctors’ offices and clinics, and businesses in the industries of manufacturing, retail, farming and services. The services I have provided range from general bookkeeping and payroll to assessing internal controls, cash management, financial analysis, tax work and consulting.

1992-2007 Longtown Supply Co., Inc. Mason, TN

Controller

My responsibilities included overseeing bookkeeping and administrative staff of six, creating budget and operational analysis, year-end audit preparation and any special projects requested by the owners and the board of directors. The business is comprised of several entities with gross revenues just under $10million per year. As part of the management team, I had to convey complicated financial information to a diverse audience. Diplomacy and effective communication, attention to detail and organization were key aspects to my success. I served on the Board of Directors from 2002 until 2007.

1990-1992 LEDIC Management Memphis, TN

Assistant Controller

At the time I was hired, LEDIC Management managed over 25,000 apartment units. Apart from my responsibilities overseeing 10 property accountants, the accounts payable, receivables and the payroll department, preparing monthly financial statements, budgets and financial analysis, a portion of my time required me to address special financial projects requested by the CFO. I also developed and implemented procedures for the accounts payable and property bookkeeping functions.
