25 years of Accounting, CFO, HR, and Cost Accounting experience, with heavy use of innovative practices, such as automation, systems, and improved processes to provide efficient, accurate, and time saving results. I have extensive experience in a wide range of industries, with my main focus being in Retail / eCommerce, Manufacturing,Real Estate / Property Management, Hospitality, Medical and Professional Services.
I am an expert user of Excel, QuickBooks, Xero, Great Plains, and numerous other software applications, as well as a quick learner on systems that I have not handled in the past. I have set up over 50 software conversions from Accounting, Inventory, ERPs, CRMs, and Payroll. Also, I look for an opportunity to make existing processes faster and more accurate. I took a 4 hour Inventory process and automated it until it took just 20 seconds.
As I have extensive experience in Cost Accounting, I will try and find ways to save money as well as help turn a business from losing into being profitable. One of my clients was losing $100,000 a year and had a $1.7 million Loan in which I turned them around so that they were making $200,000 a year, paid off their loan, and saved them $2 million in a 5 year time frame.
