Cheri Fryar

I am an accomplished administrative and financial professional with over 20 years of diverse experience spanning accounts payable, receivables, payroll, billing, auditing, contract negotiation, and office management. With a strong foundation in business operations, I have successfully supported organizations across industries including finance, transportation, utilities, retail, and government-regulated sectors.

Most recently, I served as an Accounts Payable Specialist at Aston Carter in Monett, MO, where I managed full-cycle AP functions, ensured compliance through 3-way matching, and processed payments using PeopleSoft. Prior to that, I worked as an Accounting Manager for Fagan Electric, where I handled payables, receivables, payroll, and administrative resolution for a busy electrical services firm.

I also held a key role as a Business Financial Administrator for Advantage Solutions, managing financial claims, deductions, and reconciliations for major accounts including Keurig/Dr. Pepper using Oracle Demantra and SAP. My ability to maintain clear communication and coordinate between departments played a vital role in customer satisfaction and financial accuracy.

My earlier positions include Billing Specialist at Marmic Fire and Safety, Revenue Auditor for Kansas Crossing Casino, and Loan Specialist at US Bank through Robert Half. In these roles, I developed a reputation for accuracy, strong documentation, and analytical auditing skills. At US Bank, I ensured loan documentation integrity using platforms such as Unite Us and Doc Velocity.

Notably, I spent over a decade as an Office Manager at FGD Transport, where I was responsible for negotiating freight contracts, managing office finances, and maintaining both vendor and customer relationships. This role underscored my leadership and contract management abilities, which are transferable to legal and compliance-heavy roles like contract administration.

Earlier in my career, I served as a Senior Systems Specialist at Excel Communications, leading projects in data integration and automation using Microsoft Access, Excel, and Visual Basic—highlighting my strong technical skills and problem-solving mindset.

I hold an Associate of Applied Science in Business Management from Pueblo Community College and bring a unique combination of financial acumen, administrative strength, and technological proficiency. I am adept at adapting to new systems, managing multiple priorities, and delivering results with a customer-focused approach. I am immediately available for new opportunities and am committed to delivering high-quality support in dynamic environments.
