Additional Information
I prefer to take the time to learn and understand the full scope of an employer/organization so that I am able to focus on the individual tasks while maintaining the overall goals of the company. If I foresee a problem, I prefer to have at least one or more solutions ready before presenting it unless it is critical. I have been very successful in streamlining processes for efficiency while maintaining GAAP, governmental, and IRS guidelines and statutes. I believe that an employee's job is to meet and exceed the expectations of their employer and to let the employer know of any problems that occur. I take responsibility for any errors and strive to avoid them in the future.
