Controller | Financial Performance Storyteller | Demystifying Financial Data and Making Accounting Fun | Developing Accounting Scholarships | Data & Software Enthusiast

I am a story teller that uses financial data, analytics and strategy to tell a company where it has been and the reasons why it achieved specific results. I also discuss the future based on growth forecasts and other strategic plans that will help achieve success over time. 

In my experience as a Controller I have ensured that financial functions were completed timely and thus provided meaningful data to stakeholders. I use all available tools so that all members of my accounting teams have what they need in an efficient and timely manner. 

In addition to being a Certified Management Accountant I also carry the Certified in Strategy and Competitive Analysis Credential from the IMA. The CSCA allows me to take my accounting experience/knowledge and shift into more CFO level functions.

Have you ever had to use a filing system that made no sense and you were left scratching your head?

Imagine having an accounting system with no clear methodology and everything in general buckets that were not clear.

I am a huge proponent of a well built chart of accounts. Here is an outline of one that I created. 

Maybe it goes beyond what your business needs but it can help you see the framework to follow.

Thanks for helping spread the word about building solid accounting systems!!
