Accounting professional with over a decade of progressive experience, built from the ground up, across full-cycle accounting and multi-entity financial operations. I bring a strong foundation in core accounting and a strategic mindset for improving systems, compliance, and reporting. I take pride in leading and developing high-performing teams—providing clear direction, hands-on support, and opportunities for growth. Known for fostering a collaborative, accountable environment where team members thrive and deliver high-quality results. I bring a steady, solutions-oriented approach to leadership, helping teams navigate change and deliver results with confidence and clarity.
As Accounting Manager at Right at Home, I lead financial operations for five separate entities, managing a team of five accountants in remote settings. I serve as a member of the director’s team, contributing to high-level operational and financial decisions that impact the organization as a whole. I spearheaded a comprehensive overhaul of accounting procedures, successfully reducing the month-end close timeline from over 60 days to just 5 business days. I implemented new payroll software to streamline bi-weekly processing for over 400 employees across multiple states, improving accuracy, compliance, and efficiency. In collaboration with HR, I supported the rollout of expanded employee benefits, including a new 401(k) plan, dental, vision, and short-term disability coverage, as well as the setup and administration of health reimbursement arrangements. I recovered over $100,000 in outstanding receivables by revamping AR processes and coaching AR staff on new procedures, and we have since maintained an all-time low in AR aging days. I approach every challenge with curiosity and initiative, continuously refining workflows, internal controls, and reporting tools to ensure clean, timely financials and scalable operations.
At Sky Ranch, I began as an Accounts Payable Supervisor where I led a team of two accounting clerks, overseeing all purchase order reviews, invoice processing, and vendor payments. I was a key contributor in the successful transition to Sage Intacct, responsible for testing the system, identifying necessary changes, and ultimately training over 200 staff members on the new accounting workflows. I managed the preparation and filing of 1099s across four locations, and handled fixed asset tracking, depreciation schedules, and WIP budget reviews. I also reconciled 90+ company credit cards monthly to support timely close cycles.
Following my graduation from Tyler Junior College, I was promoted to Accountant and retained my supervisory role. I expanded my responsibilities to include full-cycle accounting functions such as daily, weekly, and monthly journal entries; recording and applying customer payments; handling AR adjustments; and managing donation receipts. I conducted monthly reconciliations for six operating bank accounts and over 70 general ledger accounts, including prepaid expenses, accruals, fixed assets, and clearing accounts. I processed sales tax filings and worked closely with the Director of Finance to support month-end and year-end close, audits, and financial reporting. Eventually promoted to Senior Accountant, I took ownership of both AP and AR oversight, ensuring data accuracy and timely reporting across departments while continuing to improve systems and support organizational growth.
At Best PumpWorks, a division of DXP Enterprises, I was responsible for a broad range of accounting tasks with a focus on both accounts payable and receivable. I entered daily financial data into the general ledger system and ensured accuracy across all supporting documentation. I processed between 100 and 350 AP checks weekly, reviewing purchase order line items for pricing and material accuracy, while also vouchering, adjusting, and accruing sales tax on applicable purchases. I performed daily reconciliations of various GL accounts to support a smooth and timely month-end close. On the AR side, I managed invoicing, applied ACH, electronic, and check payments, and maintained detailed oversight of customer accounts and collections. In addition to managing billing for the company’s largest division, I also trained all new AR staff, ensuring consistency in processes and performance.
