  Accounting, Business Manager & Controller Positions

  I worked as a general accounting clerk until I worked my way up through the ranks and became a business manager and ultimately left the business at a Controller level position.I was a highly experienced hands on accounting clerk, until becoming the boss. As the business manager and controller, I was responsible for running, maintaining and managing the accounting department. I was responsible for honest and ethical accounting practices, also known as GAAP. I prepared the monthly financial statement after closing the books for each accounting period. I managed a small staff often 4-6 direct report employees. I was a lateral peer with other department managers, such as service manager, parts manager, sales manager(s), and finance manager(s).I was very successful and left this career track to pursue my passion for real estate.
