SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
In my work as accountant/CFO of the businesses described below, I performed the executive administrative duties as well as “hands—on” accounting functions traditionally performed by staff accountants, including posting transactions, balancing and reconciling accounts, posting journal entries, managing cash and bank accounts, maintaining the general ledger, and generating accurate and timely financial statements.
I am seeking a position where I can contribute meaningfully to the success of a business as a valued member of the management team through applying my extensive business planning, accounting knowledge, and experience.
EMPLOYMENT HISTORY:
Employer: Rural Community Assistance Corporation Position: Accounting Consulting
Address: Rancho Murieta, California
Dates of Employment: 2022—2023
Duties: My work involves review and analysis of financial information and operating results to evaluate compliance with loan requirements and debt service viability.
Employer: Sewell & Krueger Position: Accounting Consulting
Address: Rancho Murieta, California
Dates of Employment: 2019—2022
Duties: My work includes providing accounting consulting services to a start-up business seeking $30 million capital and generating SEC level financial reports for another publicly traded company. I assisted in developing cash flow models and projections, budgeting, and generating financial statements.
Employer: Foothill Food Service Position/Title: President and CFO
Address: Diamond Springs, California
Dates of Employment: 2012 -- 2018
Duties: I was responsible for forming the business entity, providing capital, and handling all accounting and administrative duties. The business had been in existence for forty years, but had fallen on hard times following the 2009 real estate collapse and the resulting damage to the financial industry. I formed a company to acquire the assets following the previous owner’s business asset foreclosure transaction. My work involved creating a new accounting system to handle this wholesale food distribution business with sales in excess of four million dollars per year. This was a turn-around situation which was successfully turned around to a profit within a year.
The business involved supplying restaurants, government facilities, and other food operations in the Placerville, California region with food and related products, similar to Sysco, but on a smaller scale. Accordingly, reliable refrigeration and freezer accommodations were essential to the business. The company was forced to close down due to failure of the landlord’s refrigeration equipment which the landlord refused to correct.
Reason for Leaving: Closure of the business.
Employer: A Sacramento Mortgage Bank
Position/Title: Chief Financial Officer and Member of the Board of Directors
Address: Rancho Cordova, California
Dates of Employment: 1997
Duties: I was responsible for all accounting and administration functions as well as seeking debt capital and serving on the Board of Directors. When I arrived at the firm, the books were in shambles and cash management was out of control, incurring substantial NSF charges. I immediately performed an audit of the books and established control of cash. Although the Board believed it impossible, I negotiated sizable working capital financing and increased the warehouse line of credit which enabled the company to grow from three million dollars of funded loans monthly when I arrived in January to ten million in loans monthly in less than a year. As a result, the business was able to become profitable.
Reason for Leaving: Purchased an investment property that required full time attention.
Employer: Sewell & Krueger Telephone Number: 916-***-****

In 1997, I reduced my practice by approximately fifty percent in order to become Chief Financial Officer of a mortgage bank in Sacramento. I have continued to serve clients on a semi-retired basis since 1997.
