    • Accounts Coordinator
      • Sep 2010 - Nov 2010

      I was responsible for coordinating all tasks related to accounts payable, accounts receivable, and collections during the time that the company had no one to fill that particular role. At the beginning of the month, the current exchange rates for Dollar to Euro, and Dollar to British Pound Sterling (GBP) were entered into Sage to track gains and losses from invoices received by and sent out to international companies. For accounts payable, I organized invoices based on recurring services, occasional use (OU) services and any services that required a Purchase Order to process. PO's were sent to my department via tasks in Outlook and were required to have some sort of authorization from management unless an approved Capital Expenditure Report was provided that detailed this transaction as part of an existing project. The PO was then entered into Sage and then faxed or mailed to their associated vendors for work to be done. I tracked the recurring services invoices on excel in a spreadsheet that tracked all recurring services that Arqiva is using. I then entered all invoices into Sage and had checks printed out and mailed. I received all checks for accounts payable and entered them into Sage as well as made copies of the checks for filing purposes and sent them to the bank via FedEx. For collections, I was in charge of tracking outstanding customer accounts and sending out emails and letters with past-due notifications. I also made contact over the phone in order to get any sort of reconciliation process started if need be and to keep good relationships with our clients. While I worked there, I started a reconciliation for one of our clients in an excel spreadsheet that tracked all payments that were made by the client against all invoices that were sent out to that client. This particular reconciliation tracked more than $200 thousand worth of outstanding invoices out of over $1.5 million that was already received from services the client had purchased from Arqiva.

    • Assistant to Finance Manager
      • Jul 2010 - Sep 2010

      In the past two months, I have been entrusted to provide assistance to the Finance Manager on various projects when necessary. I created and further edited a spreadsheet displaying the Semi-Annual Project Hour per Employee Income Statement. This spreadsheet included the amount of money earned for every project as well as each employee's contribution to these projects for the first half-year. These numbers were then averaged to show the amount of money earned per hour, per employee. The amount of money handled and tracked on this spreadsheet was in the millions.

    • Compliance Management Program Representative
      • Jan 2010 - Sep 2010

      I provide technical assistance to merchants that are in the process of becoming PCI compliant with the new Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. The assistance provided involves registration walk-through, scanning administration, as well as providing information to merchants regarding future compliancy requirements. Calls are tracked and logged within extensive excel spreadsheets that I create myself, and professional emails that include registration instructions and other documentation are sent out on a regular basis. I also have administrative access to many of the compliance management programs to troubleshoot client accounts.

    • Chatters Bartender
      • Jul 2009 - Dec 2009

      I worked in a restaurant known as Chatters inside a National Amusements theater, and acted both as a bartender and server. I would serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to the patrons at the bar and would also tend to anyone sitting at the tables away from the bar. I was able to effectively multitask and also had a knack for remembering in detail the orders of multiple customers. This was important because more time was spent entertaining and serving the customers rather than writing down their orders.

    • Business Services Technical Support Representative
      • Jan 2006 - Apr 2008

      I began work at Comcast on the Residential Technical Support Team before moving on to Business Services in late 2007. While I worked at Comcast, I assisted customers who called in with internet or computer issues. I was able to streamline the troubleshooting process by developing various contacts in other departments that were involved certain parts of repair. This process was further developed with the Tier 2 Helpdesk as an experimental "ticket" database that was able to track customer calls and notify the appropriate department immediately to get any problems fixed in a timelier manner. Once the ticket program was developed, I assisted in closing any tickets that were previously resolved to clear the database for any new unresolved tickets. While in Business Services, I was given additional administrative credentials in order to login to a business router and adjust settings, as well as the ability to allocate additional IP addresses according to a business' changing needs. Other duties at Comcast included assisting with television technical support as well as handling certain billing functions when appropriate.

      I operated the cash register, tracked inventory, processed returns and trade-ins, setup promotional displays, and cleaned and maintained the store as a whole. Running the store was my responsibility if the manager or assistant manager were not working. While I worked at his normal location, I also helped out at a new location in order to setup inventory and equipment before its grand opening.
