Summary

My previous role in social services allowed me to serve individuals who are severely disabled to maintain their independence while at home and in their community. Additionally, this role required me to coordinate services with various vendors to purchase medical equipment for individuals in need, select suppliers, negotiate pricing, bids, and process payments in a timely manner. I am proficient in areas of work that involve communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, time management, meeting deadlines, processing payroll and leadership. I am confident that my work experience, skills and education align with an Associate Accountant's role and my ability to be a great asset to your company.
