Summary

Accomplished Controller with a proven track record, with 32 years of experience in automotive accounting, would be a great asset to your company. My background consists of every position within the accounting office, from cashier to Controller, with 3 years as an Office Manager and 17 years as a Controller.


My job as a Controller is to protect the dealership as if it were my own. My goal is to find employment with a group that appreciates my integrity, loyalty and honesty. I take pride in my work and hold myself accountable, higher than anyone else can. I enjoy the challenges of dealership accounting and the accomplishment of finalizing a month end/year end.
