Senior Accountant

• 2015 - 2017

Many of my initiatives reduce opportunities for fraud, waste and abuse within the agency. Analyzing both budgets and expenditure, I have reduced many unnecessary costs through simple implementation of available resources. I also created a production board, contributing to many new, streamlined processes throughout the city, including: ✪ Revamped Travel Process ✪ City-Wide Policies ✪ Grant-Handling Procedures ✪ New Agency Training Programs Instrumental in the creation of more efficient and transparent overhaul within travel processes, I encouraged all city-wide agencies to process expenses through a travel-specific credit card. This reduced processing times for posting of travel-related expenses from six days to two. This also saves the city around $75K, annually. It allows government workers to focus on more pressing matters. Establishing internal controls within the Department of Environmental Health, I have contributed to the accuracy and consistency of full grant cycles, while ensuring timely processing of expense reports and invoices. I reclassified payroll and expenses that were previously coded incorrectly. Educating grant managers on city-wide policies and guidelines, I have helped to secure grants on behalf of the city and city-wide initiatives. This also influences stronger decision-making on behalf of the team. I also make that all grant transactions are qualifying expenditures, auditing grant transactions for accuracy and that all expenses are permissible under the associated contract. I create invoices, requesting reimbursement from the grantor on a monthly and/or quarterly basis and collaborate with grant managers to verify expenses reflected within reports. I, then, investigate any expenses that are inaccurate and/or missing.

Accountant

• 2013 - 2015

Instrumental in all aspects of accounts receivable, I streamlined processes in efforts to optimize company-wide billing and collections, scheduled for daily and monthly billing cycles. I maintained monthly balance sheet reconciliations, journal entries and general ledger accounting -- making all adjustments where necessary. Importing transactions from various systems, I pulled all data into a central primary accounting system for reconciliation, keeping all financial data accurate and up-to-date at any given time. I collaborated in the preparation of external auditing of financial statements by creating the necessary audit schedules. This made sure that all necessary reconciliations were properly prepared prior to auditor visits. Bringing all accounting current upon onboarding, I increased audit times from two-to-three weeks to one-or-two. I prepared reports on a monthly basis. And, I reconciled pre-existing accounts left untouched by previous team members. Contributing to the development and institution of slid internal controls, policies and procedures, I established order and direction in the unification of processes across departments. I interfaced with both internal and external customers to resolve billing issues in a timely manner. I also identified areas of risk and/or concern, mitigating issues immediately in preventing problems that may otherwise occur. Outside of my job description, I oversaw the enrollment process for yearly summer camps and processed billing during the registration season.

Accounting Clerk

• 2012 - 2013

At Wells Fargo, I evaluated all general ledger accounting, as related to accounts receivable at month-end, and made sure all funds were verified, accounted for and in alignment with Wells Fargo policy regarding the holding period. I worked closely with the Surplus Lines, Direct Bill, Accounts Payable, General Ledger, and Treasury departments to ensure all funds were recorded properly, quickly and correcting errors upon encounter. In turn, I processed requests, inquiries and discrepancies from Colorado and Nevada-based account managers on a daily basis. Reconciling transactions, as provided by the State Treasury Department, with transactions posted directly within the accounting system, I made sure that all accounting was calculated and posted correctly. This included all receivable transactions, as received in lockboxes and from Treasury Departments in Colorado and Nevada, in addition to external surplus lines. Tracking monthly write-offs and escheats, I notified the account managers of aging invoices, while further processing both write-offs and escheats by mid-month if funds were not received. I contributed to the Washington conversion, ensuring all funds related to the legacy system were accounted for within the new system. This meant further sun-setting of the legacy system, once it had hit "zero outstanding invoices within the system."
