March 2014 – Sept 2016 Total Quality Logistics Milford, Ohio Billing and Payment Coordinator/ Team Captain
While employed at TQL, I received one award:
Team Hadley Top Team Player for September 2015
After less than one year of employment, I was promoted to Team Captain (Feb 2015), skipping the Accounting Coordinator II position. My core responsibilities as Team Captain were assisting the Team Supervisor in meeting processing goals, managing the team’s 20 employees, attending at least one weekly supervisor meeting (more if covering for Team Supervisor), handling one-on-one check-ins with direct reports, creating, processing and evaluating productivity reports for team, and conducting interviews for department new hires and internal transfers.
Specifically, my team scanned, processed and cleared at least 30,000 documents each week; reconciled payments and billing for all incorrectly entered/flagged documents; and contacted brokers to submit or correct paperwork. By request of the broker, I was the only Billing and Payment department employee authorized to assist and audit one of TQL’s top brokers (at least $1 million annually). Lastly, I created and still maintained an up-to-date, comprehensive org chart for the entire Accounting Department of 105 employees.
While Team Captain, I created and organized many team morale-building events – for example, I started the “Top Team Player” award for Team Hadley, given each month.
I was a member of the Billing and Payment Recognition Committee (for 2 years). I helped organized numerous team outings and bake sales while serving on the Recognition Committee. I also organized the Christmas and Thanksgiving Holiday parties (for 105 employees), managing up to 10 volunteers in addition to completing core tasks as a Team Captain.
Additionally, a TQL employee sent an email to the Billing Manager (head) of the department, commending me on how professionally and efficiently I handled her lead broker, and his billing/payment issues. June 2012 – March 2014 The Home Depot Cincinnati, Ohio Head Cashier/ Weekend Bookkeeper
While employed at Home Depot, I received several awards and acknowledgements including:
6 Homer Awards
2 Milestone Awards
1 “Cashier of the Month” Award
“Loss Prevention” Cashier Award
1 Year of Service Award
After 3 months of employment, I was promoted to Head Cashier. Four months later, I became the weekend Bookkeeper as well (managing all tills for all registers in the store, ordering money, bank deposits, and audits.) I was also in training for scheduling and the Backup ASDS role (Associate Support Department Supervisor/Human Resources).
