RESPONSIBLE. ATTENTION TO DETAIL. ORGANIZED. ACCOUNTABLE. INTEGRITY.

*As my resume indicates most of my positions in recent years have been within the Accounts Payable domain due to demand for those types of positions. Now with many corporations using automated systems for payments it’s almost becoming an obsolete position. As per below I have done various positions over the years and would like the opportunity to pursue something different.

I am an effective team player that works well with others and independently. I have up-to-date computer skills with Microsoft and advanced knowledge of various accounting systems. I am a very easy going, hardworking and focused mature individual with 30 + years of office experience. As my resume will show I have worked a variety of rolls from receptionist, payroll, accounts payable, receivable, cash receipting, project administrator/controller, buyer, and HSE administrator; providing me with a wide range of knowledge of different areas of the business and industry. I have often been the point of contact during my career as I am reliable, easily adaptable, quick learner who manage stress well and works overtime to complete job requirements or deadlines if required. I am always open to learning something new and looking at innovative ways to approach tasks. I take pride in meticulous attention to detail, logistically solving problems, work well under pressure and can make optimal decisions concerning the work environment. Throughout my career I have had excellent communication and rapport with clients, vendors, contractors and personnel, as I believe it is essential to build good relationships to be more effective I believe a good sense of humor and attitude make for better working relationships and help to maintain a good working environment. For me integrity is important as well as personal pride to do my job as effectively to the best of my ability no matter the situation. Please call or email if you think I would benefit your company and I would be happy to confirm any questions or concerns you may have. References are available upon request. I appreciate your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Cheryl Palmer
