Return-to-Hometown Accountant with Community Service Background

CDW

Knowledge is an attribute that should be acquired by everyone. Through my Business and Accounting Studies I came to love the Investment World. I have studied it for the past 20 years, built my own computer and still study technology and, made money by trading stocks, options, and forex. I became a research analyst and now I am studying AI (aka ASI) and the enforcement of the Law.

NOTE:

Employment opportunities are very slim in Needles so it is in my intent to move to an area close to work and close to my family. Hopefully, it will all work out for an active person like me. I have good references but because of my Security background they are not listed. They are available to you if you request them by calling or texting me.

CHRIS D WELLS

ACCOUNTING FINANACIAL MANAGEMENT SECURITY

MANAGER TRAINEE • SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL, NEEDLES • JAN 2023 TO PRESENT

A go-getter for food, as well as low-cost household items and clothing for needy people. Often donations may require minor repairs which I also handled. Communications with fellow volunteers and customers mitigate any problems that may arise. The ability to work together in any situation describes me well. An individual does not improve any business by themselves, it takes teamwork.

OWNER-OPERATOR • ALLSWELLS COMPANY • FOUNTAIN VALLEY•

JAN 2004 TO OCT 2009 (Business sold) •

Worked as a handyman and a swimming pool repair person until my cancer treatment in Jan 2010. As a research analyst, I would identify the problems, take corrective actions to repair, often with better parts and equipment. I am well-versed in electrical, plumbing and some carpentry.

Inspection and Analysis of people and businesses applying for entry to the United States. Some documents were valid but others were not. Interviewed as necessary. I was temporarily promoted to Business Analytics in Laguna Niguel until I became ill due to cancer. I resigned my position in Calexico.

US DEPT. OF TREASURY – IRS • ORANGE COUNTY • RESEARCH ANALYST – AUDITOR • NOVEMBER 1983 TO MAY 1995 • (GS-592 & GS-526)

Was an NTEU Steward for two years prior to Audit. Trained in Collections, then moving to the Research Analyst position, and then into Office Audit, which I found very pleasing. Typically cases were about a $5000 liability but a Supervisor praised me when I closed a case with the CPA and the Taxpayer showing a $28000 liability.

NIGHT AUDITOR/FRONT DESK CLERK • VARIOUS ORANGE COUNTY LOCATIONS • MARCH 1986 TO APRIL 1992

Worked as a Night Auditor/Front Desk Clerk for various Motels and Hotels in the Orange County area.

Accounting methods did vary some on an electronic register, desktop computers, and a OS2 Mainframe, and of course by long-hand.
