Summary

  • I am an enterprising, hard-working, motivated, and highly skilled team member known for accuracy, attention to detail and timeliness in a leadership role. My Accounts Payable career spans eight years of experience in accounting and has included accountability for the processing of up to 20,000 invoices ($1M) per month. I am flexible, versatile, and able to maintain a sense of humor under pressure. I remain poised and competent with demonstrated ability to easily transcend cultural differences. My supervisors describe me as "an asset to the company - a team player who can be counted on to get the job done." It is these personal qualities, as well as my experience, that I would bring to your company. Some highlights of my experience include:
  • Skills in bookkeeping and finance - balancing receipts, analyzing year-end reports and labor costs, computing payroll figures, and processing accounts payable.
  • A proven ability to manage - supervising, scheduling, and training employees; solving difficult problems; and troubleshooting office equipment.
