CAREER SUMMARY Consulted with public school districts in Montana, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Iowa to develop the

processes necessary to produce reports required by state and federal agencies for GAAP Fund Accounting, Student Records, and Food Service.

Translated processes into detailed daily, monthly, and annual operations to insure accurate data and timely reporting in final or transferrable format. Subdivided these operations into task-specific procedures.

Trained district personnel at all levels in procedures, and created operation, procedure, and training manuals in both paper and electronic formats.

THE RESULT : increased A+ ratings from government auditors, managers saved anywhere from 5-10 hours a week editing data, and data-entry personnel freed up to 8-10 hours a week that could be reallocated for other tasks.

Produced training and tutorial documentation. THE RESULT : reduced the time it took new-hires to become proficient from 1 Month to 1

Week; a reduction of %75. Customized software on Mac and Windows platforms for small businesses to capture data and

generate reports that were previously unavailable. Applications included Double-entry Accounting, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, and Inventory.

THE RESULT : Eliminated paper ledgers and hand generated reports providing up to 8-10 hours a week in reallocated employee hours. Tax specific reports and automated crossovers reduced accounting fees from 20% to 50%.

Produced operation, procedure, and training documentation. THE RESULT : consistent data accuracy, shortened training time, and elevated employee

performance.
