As a financial controller, business manager and operational strategist, I am passionate about helping organizations find comprehensive, innovative and implementable solutions to do more with less. My career has been marked by a distinct skill for partnering with Finance, Technology and Operations teams to solve problems. I have significant experience in starting up, turning around and realigning the needs of domestic and international organizations by leveraging technology. I partner with colleagues and clients to: Develop a competitive edge through creative problem solving processes that turn liabilities into opportunities. Streamline processes to engage employees to move from processing roles to analytical roles. Build high performing, integrated and engaged accounting teams. Develop relationships among departments and all levels of staff to improve process flows. Create effective and efficient workflows that help propel companies to new performance levels. Utilize technology and tools to create productivity advantages. Create implementable and practical strategic plans. Design effective Finance and Accounting training programs which advance a company's accounting team to develop the necessary skills to better serve their clients. Having Big Four public accounting and brokerage experience, I offer my business partners a unique perspective when assisting them with automation, process implementation and improvement and cost reduction. I am able to apply techniques used by large Wall Street firms to smaller organizations in order to assist them in gaining efficiency. I was the only candidate selected from the New York office of a major broker dealer to attend a leadership conference at the international headquarters. I have also chaired and participated in many technology, automation and controls committees.
