PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS
I have worked in the accounting industry for nearly 20 years. In that time span I have worked in several different positions from clerk,
specialist, staff accountant and assistant supervisor. As an assistant supervisor for Waste Management, some of my duties included cross training
three individuals in the department on processing and researching accounts payable invoices for payment. As a leader, I believe in addressing
problems immediately with the team as they come up, while continuing to keep my team motivated to get the job done in a timely manner.
One of my greatest accomplishments while working at Waste Management was helping turn the accounting department around after a
massive turnover. In doing this, I was able to process 130+ invoices a day while at the same time answer customer complaints. I reconciled million
dollar statements which allowed me to bring all capital expenditures current for over 20 business units. I also implemented a purchase order/ packing
slip system where my fellow coworkers would scan and email me all purchase orders and packing slips on a daily basis. The purpose for
implementing this program was to cut down on paper work getting misplaced in intercompany mail. Therefore, allowing the department to process
all invoices especially discounted invoices in a timely manner. Therefore, we were able to save the company several hundred dollars every month.

also given the opportunity to complete some random auditing of the many employees in the warehouse. My responsibilities included selecting
random vendors and double checking the ticket list that was given to the employee in fact matched what they had boxed and prepared to ship out
to one of the various stores. Any discrepancies I found while completing the audit I had to file the necessary paperwork, explain to the employee
the error found and report the findings along with the proper paper working to my Supervisor for further investigation.
