Cell phone: 760-555-1213
Necessary skills: Strong technical accounting and analytical
skills
Strong interpersonal and communication skills
Ability to work autonomously
Strong organizational skills
Three skills and exhibit: With all of the positions it was required
to provide a flawless transition. Circumstances resulted in minimal
training and a great deal of self-learning.
Two of the positions held the responsibility of converting accounting
software. In addition to staff training, Working autonomously,
organizational skills as well as interpersonal and communication
skills were demonstrated.
Converting a multi-state payroll from ADP to in-house. With no
knowledge as to what a software problem trouble report was, researched
then developed the required Fault Profile metric report for the
software development program I was working on.
Why this firm: My career goal is to become a project/program
manager. To achieve this goal it is important for advancement and
training opportunities to be available. In addition, having the
ability to work cross functionally to expand knowledge.
Two accomplishments: January 1997- Metric Inc.
The primary reason for this company hiring me was that they were
looking for a person that had Timberline accounting experience
and had the ability to work with the software consultant, as
well, as independently, in completing the conversion of the billing
and payroll department. One of the relevant accomplishments was
converting a multi-state payroll of approximately 3,000 employees
from ADP to in house. This process was accomplished in various
stages. The first stage was to setup the new payroll system with
the payroll information. This consisted of updating all active
employee information including tax information. Tax information
consisted of federal and state (taking into consideration any
state reciprocity).
The second stage consisted of running parallel payroll systems.
During this stage, bugs were worked out. This is a job cost accounting
system with separate modules; therefore it was necessary to ensure
that the costs within the billing module matched that of the payroll
module. One bug that occurred was with a salaried employee. If
an employee worked less than the required work week, the payroll
module would pay the correct salary, however, the billing module
needed an adjustment in order to adjust the cost up or down without
over/under charging the client. The solution to this challenge
was to create a dummy entry that would adjust the cost in the billing
module.
The last stage was the complete transition to the in-house payroll
system.
1999- TRRR Associates, Inc.
The development of the Fault profile metric report.
This report is a required program office report for software development.
Not having a software development background it was necessary to
research and learn what a problem trouble report (or fault profile)
was. I then reviewed fault profile data on another program as well
as my programs software development plan for determination of report
setup and required reporting data.
A data workbook and charts were prepared and submitted in report
format to the program office for review and approval.
Three things that separate me: This is difficult for me to answer.
I am a motivated and dependable self-starter who will go above
and beyond to complete a task. With the last four positions held,
each required a person who could work autonomously to met deadlines
and problem solve. Minimal, if any, training was offered, therefore,
it was my responsibility to explore all my resources to find the
solutions and knowledge needed to accomplish the assigned tasks.
This hold especially true for the last two positions held.
