Multi-Talented, I Have worked in the Construction industry, Law Enforcement, commercial fishing, Restaurant and Hospitality Industries, Business Development and Ower ship.

Business licenses: By creating complex business structure, the company grew from a partnership to a corporation. Filed the Master Business Application to obtain a Unified Business Identifier and trade name. Budget functions: Based budgets on: • Sound organizational structure in which authority and responsibility were clearly defined. • Research and analyze new products, services, and operating techniques. Master Budget – created using programs like Quickbooks and Excel. • Operating Budgets • Financial Budgets By creating clear and concise reports on a daily, monthly, quarterly, semi annually and annually basis I gathered and analyzed data in order to draw logical conclusions and make informed decisions. Examples of these types of reports are as followed: • Sales Budget - derived from sales forecast. When developing the sales forecast, I considered multiple factors including: general economic conditions, industry trends, market research studies, anticipated advertising, and adjustments in prices. • Production Budget - amount of projects required to meet anticipated sales. Determined the professional and staff budgeted costs for direct labor, direct materials, and overhead. • Direct Materials Budget – quantity and cost of direct materials required to be purchased. Based on this information I was able to negotiate reduced prices for paint and materials. • Direct Labor Budget - quantity (hours) and cost of direct labor necessary to meet production requirements. • Budgeted Income Statement – expected profitability of operations and provided a basis for evaluating the company performance. • Cash Budget - anticipated cash flow. • Budget Balance Sheet – developed the balance sheet for the preceding fiscal year and the budgets for the current fiscal year. After creating, reviewing, analyzing, and managing the master budget and management plan, I was able to determine the company's staffing needs and had sole discretion to act. Furthermore, the benefits of the management plan provided for sound decisions, provided definite objectives for evaluating performance, created an early warning system for potential problems, and gave management awareness of overall operations.

Upon recognition of delayed estimates for potential commercial and residential customers, I created a customized brochure to provide a free written estimate and increase the customer base.
