Bio
Don Cumming
I have worked for approximately 41 years in public and private accounting and Norika Pales is one of the best accounting and office managers I have worked with. During the four plus years we worked together, Norika did an incredible job in improving the purchasing and accounts payable work flow as well as improving vendor relations by responding to all vendor inquiries within one business day. Norika added value to the accounting department and the company by identifying 5 contract renewals and participating with the originating department to determine critical needs and obtain competitive quotes. Additionally, she assisted in the budget budget process as well as providing documentation for the year end audit. She also participated in many non-accounting projects such as coordinating drug tests for new employees, administering third party surveys and leading fund raising projects. I have enjoyed working with Norika because of her positive and can do attitude and ability to meet difficult deadlines. She is able to multi-task effectively, has a strong work ethic and is an effective communicator. I strongly recommend Norika for any accounting or office manager role and whoever hires her will have an outstanding person on their team.
