Bio
Ben Steinsieck, MBA
Much more than a run-of-the-mill staff accountant, Amber has the full complement of financial accounting skills and experience - solid general ledger, treasury, cash management, and financial reporting. In the five years we worked together at CIEE, she played a key role in the professionalization of the financial reporting, cash management, and treasury functions of an international education non-profit with operations in 40+ countries. She is a conscientious, extremely hard-working, service-oriented problem-solver and a real pleasure to work with.

I truly enjoyed working with Amber when she was Senior Accountant at CIEE. All my communications and encounters with her were a pleasure, from both professional and personal perspectives. Professionally, she is very knowledgeable about the various treasury functions of the organization. When working with the CIEE study centers in China, she always made certain that international wire transfers for overhead were processed accurately and timely and anticipated onsite financial needs of the different centers. She was always willing and able to give helpful answers to questions from field staff about Quicken database files, foreign currency, and monthly and quarterly financial statements. Personally, she is most amiable and always brings a welcome smile to conversations and helps to make her workplace a better place to work.
