AMANDA JONES

Summary
I have 15 years of experience in finance, accounting, and customer service. My past role as the Cash Disbursement Specialist for the City of Auburn has strengthened my capabilities in time- management and knowledge, including a strong attention to detail and accuracy. I have designed and maintained several spreadsheets and procedures that can be extremely tedious and manual; these tasks require me to be very conscious and accurate. I exercised a lead role in our software migration and assisted our Finance and HR department in building the best quality payroll/financial module. My extensive knowledge and experience of accounting, mathematical formulas, reconciling funds, bank reconciliations, and designing procedure manuals will be a huge asset to your organization.
