Raphael Manjarres

I currently work as a Revenue & Attendance Specialist at SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment, where I manage revenue balancing and posting into SAP, verify financial reports, and process daily attendance across 11 theme parks. I perform daily SOX audit reviews, collaborate with teams across Finance, Cash Control, and IT to resolve operational issues, and help drive improvements in review procedures. I also train and mentor new hires and managers, develop SOP documentation to support system and audit understanding, and handle high-volume correspondence during critical month-end close periods to ensure accuracy and efficiency in financial reporting.

I have a strong background in revenue accounting, financial reporting, and auditing, with experience supporting large-scale operations across multiple theme parks. At SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment, I specialize in revenue balancing, SAP financial postings, SOX compliance auditing, and daily attendance tracking for 11 parks. I collaborate cross-functionally with Finance, Cash Control, and IT teams to troubleshoot issues and improve processes, while also training new hires and creating detailed SOPs. My earlier roles in bookkeeping and tutoring accounting and finance have strengthened my analytical skills, cost control expertise, and ability to communicate complex financial concepts clearly.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Western Governors University in June 2020, building a strong foundation in financial reporting, auditing, and cost management principles.
