*************@*****.***
I am looking for a position with a variety of duties at this time to include physical movement and not just be harbored to a monitor all day. I have an extensive history in accounting and business administration/ customer service over the last 25 years. I feel I have had a vast work history to include writing standard operating procedures, budget and audit experience for investor companies, a wide array of accounting and customer service experience due to the multiple companies within one company at Seneca and H- E Parts International LLC based in Atlanta as a direct report as well as consolidating experience working with sister companies throughout any given month to including month end, quarter end and year end reporting. I am experienced as well with software companies communicating needs and testing certain areas of software modified.
Authorized to work in the US for any employer

Big Barn and Route 65-Des Moines, IA
February 2020 to March 2020
The position at HD (my dream job) was created so I could learn the organization and accounting procedures alongside the active Controller as he was planning on retiring within the first half of the year but by March 2020 his portfolio had taken such a large hit his advisor said he could no longer retire as all his plans would not be afforded with such hits that set his portfolio back to the balances at the time of the banking crisis/recession in 2007-2009. The loss at HD was due to Covid-19. The first 7 months of the pandemic the IA Department of Unemployment stated not to look for employment due to the Covid-19 infection increases. This statement was lifted in September 2020. Although many companies had what seems now to be "static" ads out to employ people, sometimes I wouldn't get a first interview for 3 months and almost no letters of denial. I made FB Marketplace a cornerstone to making extra money to help with living expenses refurbishing and/or reselling (arbitrage) items like furniture, etc. Staff Accountant
