As Finance Manager for Australia’s third largest strata company, my role is to manage the trust accounts fund for strata plans which incorporates responsibility for Account Receivables and Payables, advising clients and strata managers on a broad range of financial issues, preparing BAS and tax returns and reviewing financial statements for clients. I manage more than 150 residential and commercial strata plan buildings throughout Sydney, with more than $11M held in trust accounts. This has included reconciling bank accounts, generating and distributing monthly financial statements to 3,000 owners, and providing the current financial status of the strata plans of owners. I have increased efficiency by implementing new workflows and automating processes. This included creating a report (using Power BI) which mitigated the risk of duplicate payments to suppliers and reduced checking time by 4 hours a week. I also Also created report (Power BI) to enable owners who had not paid their levies to be sent text messages to remind them to pay, which saved me 3 hours a month in preparing the list, and mitigated the risk of human error. In addition, I created a workflow (using CRM Dynamics) to issue Work Orders/Quote requests to contractors which reduced the workload of each member of the Strata Department by 2 hours a week. I also devised a report (Power BI) to provide the Board of Directors with information about the amount of revenue generated by each client to ensure that the appropriate action was taken to manage client correspondence and minimise the volume of emails. Further, I streamlined and automated processes which reduced the time required for Strata Managers to send our work orders and quote requests to contractors by two hours a week.
