To Whom it Concerns,

Though I have a certificate from The Career College & courses from SAIT. I do not have a bachelor’s degree, what I do bring is 30+ years of Accounting Experience.

I know Full Cycle Accounts Payable & Closing Month & Year End. I’ve processed every type of Invoice, Expense Report, Utilities, Credit + Fuel Cards + Petty Cash + Sub-Contract Invoices & Holdbacks + 2% Discount Invoices w/payment due dates. Processed EFT’s daily & made Invoice Payments - CDN Funds to US Funds with US Vendors. Processed invoices + made payments for all Sub Company’s.

GST & PST filed, not as often now but with other companies I worked with every month.

In Excel - Invoice Tracking Sheets for large PO's, sometimes PO Revisions for a Change Order.

Tracked Repairs & Maintenance on vehicles + forklifts + Tools + Many Others.

As Project Accountant, I Processed Sub-Contract Invoice to Clients or Owners - Documents to Support Claims if needed, Stat. Dec's & WCB. Follow up for payment as always, Collections was never an issue.

With a Construction company I worked with, I do understand how Joint Venture Accounting is done so that Job Cost - balanced. Looking forward to one day doing this again.

I have worked with Maxwell, PCMI, SAP - VIM, Deltek, Accpac, Jonas, Conac, Concord, plus a few other company specific accounting software. Eager to learn new systems & adopt improved best practices. The accounting system your office uses, I will easily learn.

I Know to remove Late Fees & Invoices that are Disputed + Reconcile all Accounts to Current, are just a Few of my Many Strong Points. Highly Analytical + Detail Oriented with Ability to Work Independently or with a Team. Though, was never a Manager, I do have Strong Leadership Qualities. Climbing the corporate ladder in a Very Small Office is, you know. Ask me how to get a 2% Discount Vendors & I’ll show you; I’ll hit the floor running. I work well Under Pressure - Multiple Concurrent Deadlines, I Never Stress or make data entry errors. Sounds too good to be true, find out – just Hire me!

If overqualified for the Position, heard so many times, I’ll Help the team - show some proven time management skills, plus get the job done, way before the deadline. I Deliver what I promise!

MARCH 2022 to PRESENT – I have been working with various Agency’s doing Short + Long-Term Contracts - Project Accountant + Account Analyst + AP + AR. Oil & Gas – TC-Energy & An Engineering Company - EXP, Construction Companies + Residential, Town Houses + Apartment Companies - Reconciling AP & AR Accounts or GL’s. Working on Billings missed & bringing all Accounts to Current.

I’ve fixed so many little data entry errors – vendor, date, PO #, dollar & even GST entries. I have enjoyed a few Accounting Systems + I work very well with Excel & build amazing spread sheets; I’m told.

Just to say – I will not let you down, I will give 110% to the company & not make all the errors, I fix.

Thank You for Considering my Resume & I’m looking forward to working with you, always Loyal.
