As a sales tax accountant I am responsible for taking all prior month end entries from accounts payable data to review and adjust taxes as needed with current tax rules. I am also responsible for uploading journal entries into Lawson to accrue sales tax liability and remit them to parish and state taxing authorities across multiple states. In addition, general ledger account reconciliations are needed, classifying cost centers, reviewing categories with major/minor’s and their taxability for all states we operate in.

Working on various projects is another vital part of my role in the sales tax department depending on what we are needing to make our department run as efficiently as possible. International Snubbing Services: September 2018 – February 2023 Purchasing Coordinator

As a purchasing coordinator I am responsible for getting quotes and negotiating prices for parts and equipment needed by the shop hands and rigs. Once I’ve compared the prices between the vendors and make sure the parts are correct, I choose the best option to proceed with creating a purchase order. After the purchase order is submitted and approved, I send it to the vendor and keep track of when the order will arrive at our facility so that we get the items in a timely manner. I’m also in charge of shipping parts/equipment overseas and directly to specific rig locations as well as making sure that the items make it to their destination. Alongside the purchasing roll I’m also responsible for creating essential procurement reporting to track key department metrics such as open purchase orders, inventory levels, on-time delivery, and cost management.
