Leadership Experience
While in Accounting I was selected to assist with the complete testing and roll-out of a whole new accounting system called Chrome River which works hand in hand with another billing system called 3E & Transcepta (e-billing). Here I worked closely with banks in different cities as well as local Accounts Payable Managers in order to set both hardware and software (MICR) necessary to print live checks. My time in Procurement was also very productive I was constantly part of hardware rollouts and their respective training, inventory and asset management. I issued POs and made sure to close them out all while working with the AP team making sure to close out any open invoices.
