Accounting Customer

Objective

To join a progressive, fast-paced financial services department where my extensive accounting experience will contribute to the timely and accurate posting of accounts receivable and accounts payable transactions. As an accounting professional with over 20 years’ experience, I’ve been a part of teams that accurately posted over $1 million in receivables at a Fortune 100 company. I am a problem solver who independently handles varied responsibilities with attention to detail and with limited supervision. I have the communication skills to manage and de-escalate customer interactions. I am seeking a position where my skills and accounting knowledge will be valued and further developed.
