PROFILE
Possessing a total of 27 years of experience in the field of financial auditing/accounting, I can quickly and fully comprehend a variety of complex financial reporting systems and make recommendations for process improvements, both financial and operational in nature. I am equally well-versed, however, in the actual day-to-day supervision of an entire accounting department, as well as performing myself any or all the functions pertaining thereto. I possess advanced Excel skills, including the writing of nested formulae and complex macros in Visual Basic.
WORK HISTORY
CFO
August 2017 – August 2020
FOCOS Innovations Corp – remote, but based in Clearwater, FL
Managed all aspects of accounting and reporting for this small SaaS technology company and advised the CEO on key business decisions related to such matters. Over the past three years, the financial positioning of this company improved exponentially year-over-year in several key metrics for success. I designed a complex budgetary model that poises the company for more accurate long-term forecasts of desired target margins, even as the company has opted to shift to a more module-based sales approach in an already niche market during an economic downturn. I possess intimate familiarity with all available Federal assistance, both as it pertains to small businesses in general, as well as during these extraordinary times.
Assistant Controller
September 2015 – August 2017
Vertical Communications – Roswell, Georgia
In the absence of the Controller, I directly supervised the Accounting Department of this company’s Georgia-based subsidiary. As such, I was responsible for ensuring timely and proper sales tax reporting across multiple states, COGS analysis and reporting, month-end close, budgeting, forecasting, AR, AP, intercompany transactions, fixed assets, and cash reconciliations. I also directly managed the line-of-credit for this subsidiary and was thus responsible for ensuring adequate daily cash requirements.
Corporate Internal Auditor
September 2007 – September 2015
Greystone Healthcare Management – Tampa, Florida
For most of my career with this company, I served as the inaugural head of the Internal Audit Department, reporting directly to the CFO. As such, I interacted daily with organizational staff in all phases and at all levels of business operations to ensure financial and operational management control objectives were effectively and efficiently achieved. This was done by designing and implementing audit plans, audit programs, and corrective action plans relative to specific risk analyses performed across all 27 of the corporation’s total nursing homes/assisted living facilities throughout Florida, Indiana, and Ohio. I also served as the designated liaison for all independent financial audit requests for the entire consolidating financial statements. For approximately the last year-and-a-half, I took a position to assist a new CFO and Controller more directly and more frequently as the company’s first ever Assistant Controller. In that capacity, I directly supervised our Cash Management and General Accounting departments and indirectly supervised our AR, AP, and Payroll departments, taking a more proactive role in budgeting, variance analysis, monthly forecasting, and the monthly and year-end close processes.
WORK HISTORY (continued from page 1)
Senior Medicaid Audit Evaluation & Review Analyst
September 2006 – September 2007
State of Florida, Agency for Healthcare Administration – Tallahassee, Florida
I reviewed Medicaid Program cost reports submitted by CPA report preparers on behalf of Florida-based nursing home facilities seeking reimbursement for costs associated with the long-term care of patients on Medicaid. I conducted detailed reviews of the working papers of independent CPA firm examinations of these cost reports prior to reimbursement; this required intimate familiarity with CMS Publication 15-1 and the rules governing reimbursement and reporting of Medicare/Medicaid costs.
Founder and Director of Operations
May 2005 – September 2006
Accountability Matters, Inc. – Tallahassee, Florida
I contracted with the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA) to perform examinations of Medicaid Program cost reports as annually required of all Florida-based nursing home facilities seeking reimbursement for costs associated with the long-term care of patients on Medicaid.
Senior Staff Consultant
October 2004 – May 2005
Sharpton, Brunson, & Co., CPAs – Tallahassee, Florida
I performed examinations of Medicaid program cost reports as submitted by Florida-based nursing home facilities.
Lead Senior Auditor
June 1993 – October 2004
State of Florida, Office of the Auditor General – Tallahassee, Florida
Promoted multiple times during my tenure at this organization, the pinnacle of my duties included supervising audits of State agencies and the various State and/or Federal programs they administer. In that capacity, I coordinated all phases of the audit process from start (audit planning) to finish (report writing and presentation).
