Couple with Extensive knowledge of accounting software, GAAP, proficiency with Microsoft Office, Accounts Payable & Receivable, V-Lookup, Pivot Tables, and Tax. . I have been updating my skill in Oracle, where I can actually set up the requirement in Oracle ( AP Period Closure and Reconciliation & AR Period Close and reconciliation) Accounts receivable and Accounts payable, where I can set up the invoice in accounts receivable and accounts payable, and have the accounts netting process, interfacing each other to offset each account and provide a real balance showing the amount that has not been addressed by the company. The netting process, recognizes the receipt of $10,000, against the account payable debt of $15,000, and gives the company an invoice amount of $5,000 paid within the time period that the two companies have set up the requirement for payment. I‘m also updating my knowledge of Microsoft B1, and Phyton. it is a model version of a system I had as an undergraduate, where you write a script to complete exercises that gather data from a large database, where you can have variables, save time doing a respective task, and automate these tasks.
