Summary

Professional Achievements

Mergers & Acquisitions & System Integration: Challenged with integrating multiple acquisition systems into a single financial and reporting program. Cross-functional collaboration with department leads and Executives to assess information validity and implementation of the new analytical software to view data real-time. Successful integration allowed for regular sales information reviews and real-time decision-making across the corporation; leading to further acquisitions based on incremental confidence of integration and reporting. Top-line M&A growth of 60%.

Key Performance Indicators (KPI) & Profit Growth: Discovered a lower EBITDA flow-though than desired based on industry standards. Established and implemented KPIs that added visibility to financial losses such as overtime and administrative costs. Clients experienced a 5% EBITA growth as a percentage of Gross Profit and saved $750k per year based on improved scheduling efficiencies.

Process Improvement & Implementation: Identified outdated financial reporting methods were in practice and created database queries that imported information into Excel for immediate review and analysis. Success was proven in an 80% reduction in staff manual processing time to create regularly scheduled reports.
