RECENT PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS

A New Chapter in Professional Management, Inc. – Oceanside, CA October 2014 – Present

Business Manager / President

Contractual hands-on business management, first at a young compounding pharmacy in Placentia and more recently at a highly regarded Family Medicine Practice in La Jolla.

At the Pharmacy:

Completely revised and updated the accounting and payroll systems as well as the human resource policies and protocols to more adequately address the company’s needs while substantially decreasing dependence on expensive outside consultants.

Designed and oversaw the construction of a new pharmacy facility at less than half the cost of original bids (complete with state of the art negative pressure hazardous rooms that exceeded PCAB certification guidelines).

In the absence of a sales manager, created several overwhelmingly successful proposals targeted to large clients and drafted a complex set of employment and third party contractor agreements to maximize the potential of the company’s internal and external sales teams.

At the Medical Practice:

Overcame a toxic atmosphere of mistrust in the management team by developing close working and interpersonal relationships with all staff and physicians.

Boosted morale by offering constructive feedback and specific direction, recognizing accomplishments, enhancing training and guiding all employees through professional development initiatives that often led to increased levels of responsibility.

Nurtured relationships with external partners including managed health groups, ACOs and vendors.

Enhanced the overall patient experience by expanding direct contact initiatives, encouraging feedback, and initiating rapid response protocols.

A New Chapter in Professional Management, LLC – Muskegon, MI March 2006 – September 2014

Accountant / Consultant / Owner

Built a rewarding accounting / consulting practice around enhancing the viability of service related entities by focusing management objectives, increasing consumer satisfaction, simplifying administrative procedures and eliminating waste through lean process improvement initiatives.

While originally targeted toward healthcare and non-profit entities, the underlying concepts proved to be so universal that referrals led to successful engagements with businesses as diverse as insurance agencies, an IT consultant, and an active sports retailer.

Responsibilities varied by client, but ordinarily included all accounting and reporting functions including general ledger, payroll, financial statement, payroll tax and business income tax preparation.

Provided customized highly-detailed yet easily-understood financial statements which allowed upper management to quickly evaluate and respond to changes in the marketplace.

PRIOR EXPERIENCE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF NOTE
