Additional Information

MEI Technologies is a government contractor which allowed me to gain knowledge with what could and could not be billed. Along with AR responsibilities I helped with internal audits and DCAA audits. I have experience with year end processes, journal entries and reconciliation of general ledger accounts.

When I first stared with Muniz Engineering(changed names in 2005 to MEI Technologies) I was responsible for documenting previous year records and continued to maintain records on and offsite.
