I have a proven track record expanding over 10 years of improving the bottom line of various manufactures and service providers in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. Having to adapt quickly to unfamiliar software adds to my repertoire of software knowledge that includes Peachtree, QuickBooks, Open Pro and SAP as well as payroll packages including ADP and Paychex. I am current with MS Office (Access, Word and Excel (Pivot Tables, Sumifs, Vlookups, Charting)) in PC and MAC (2008) environments.
