Summary

I enjoy all aspects of accounting. My career began in Accounts Payable and has developed through an Assistant Controller. I have supervised and trained different levels of employees. Some of the most interesting times in my career were during two Dynamics AX implementations. Much of my experience is with manufacturing and construction. I enjoy seeing the full circle of accounting.
