I’m a well-rounded and results-oriented professional with a strong background in both Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, currently working at Thompson Hospitality. In my role, I’ve managed high-volume AP/AR processes, streamlined expense tracking, and improved financial accuracy through hands-on use of ERP systems like Microsoft Dynamics GP. I've also led initiatives to tighten financial controls, including overseeing a company-wide credit card program and reconciling large volumes of transactions across multiple business entities. My experience has helped strengthen team workflows and boost operational efficiency, all while maintaining a focus on accuracy, accountability, and collaboration.

I’m an experienced accounting professional with over seven years in financial operations, specializing in accounts payable, accounts receivable, and expense management. I’ve worked extensively with ERP systems like Microsoft Dynamics GP and QuickBooks, managing high-volume transactions, vendor relationships, and reconciliation processes.

In my current role at Thompson Hospitality, I handle AP/AR duties across multiple business entities, manage a corporate card program with over 200 users, and perform monthly reconciliations on nearly $900,000 in expenses. I also collaborate directly with the CFO to improve expense accuracy and reduce company spending.

Throughout my career, I’ve built a strong foundation in GAAP, financial reporting, and internal controls. My ability to stay organized, meet tight deadlines, and communicate effectively has helped streamline processes and improve overall financial efficiency in every role I’ve held.

Although I don’t have a formal academic background in finance or accounting, my degree in Communication Arts has played a significant role in my professional development. It equipped me with strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to process and communicate complex information clearly—skills that have translated seamlessly into my work in accounting.

My education also fostered a mindset of curiosity and adaptability, which has helped me quickly learn financial systems, processes, and tools on the job. I’ve consistently demonstrated the ability to take on new challenges, absorb technical knowledge, and apply it effectively in high-responsibility roles like managing AP/AR and corporate expense programs. My success in these roles reflects my commitment to continuous learning and my ability to thrive even outside of a traditional accounting education.
