I've been in the HR/Benefits Administrator role for over 16+ years. I've set up and implemented this department for the last two companies listed in my work history. In my most current position I personally hunted, recruited and hired the staff; more than 75% who are still employed today! I created company forms and set up policies and procedures to guarantee new hire onboarding is organized, efficient and compliant. I set up and implemented orientation, trainings, counseling and performance reviews to ensure minimal turnover.
I provide Business Consulting, Accounting and HR services. I set up the accounting books for this company from scratch at the GM's kitchen table while construction was still underway for the shop and office. I created and implemented several company policies and procedures. Since operational; I've recruited and onboarded staff, apart from the accounting functions I oversee. I am the company's Benefits Administrator and Payroll Processor. I provide employee counseling as needed to retain employees, especially after disciplinary actions have been taken. I perform regularly scheduled employee reviews and assessments with the next goals clearly defined.
Desperate to re-enter the workforce I started here as an Executive Assistant but quickly climbed up as my performance was noticed. The books where in disarray and I had to use my forensic accounting skills to piece them back together. I cleaned up AR and had huge success in Collections. I found billing errors that netted this company an additional 30% in monthly revenue. This company had several tax liens which I helped sort out, including most notable, a payroll tax lien. After conducting an audit not only was one of the liens lifted but the company had in fact overpaid by almost 20k! I created a budget and cash flow dashboard to make the company profitable. Logically I was made officer and CFO after my predecessor was removed. Included in this role I was in charge of Accounting, HR and Benefits Administration.
I had been cross training in each department (AP, QC, Logistics, etc.) in preparation for management of the newest shop addition. This was the shortest stint in my employment history due to death in the family and 2 surgeries for my kids in a short span. It hurt but I couldn't even blame them...
