  Jan 2001 - Jan 2007

  Tax manager

  I was a Tax Manager for a large public accounting firm in Richmond, VA. My client base included individuals, flow-through entities, non-profit entities, and small and medium-sized businesses. I developed a diverse skill set from the general ledger, trust accounting, and tax work I did. I spent a significant amount of time on a project in which I developed the reconciliation process for a client, caught their account up, and then trained their staff to take over. I received awards for my mentoring and community service efforts, was active on the recruiting committee, and ran the intern program. Show less

  Jan 2008 - Jan 2011

  Self employed

  In an effort to transition from public accounting to the private sector, I partnered and worked with several companies to utilize and expand on my skillset, including the Riverstone Group and Steiner Business Solutions. My roles included serving as Tax and Accounting Manager, Director of Tax, and Controller/CFO for various clients. The experience and network I gained was invaluable, and during this time I discovered an interest in creating efficiencies and negotiating.My responsibilities included oversight of the entire tax function, serving businesses and individuals, working one-on-one with them on their tax planning and preparation needs. I also assisted with clients' accounting needs, acting as part-time controller or CFO. In that capacity, I helped oversee accounting departments/staff and processes, assisted with budgeting and decision-making, and/or provided reconciliation, review, and financial cleanup. Show less

  Medarva

  Feb 2014 - May 2016

  Chief financial officer

  At Medarva Stony Point Surgery Center my responsibilities included accounting and finance, front desk & registration, business office, payer contracting, materials management, IT, and risk management for the organization. I helped move us away from paper and onto a system to scan our charts, secured new facility and anesthesia contracts worth an extra $4 million over the next 3 years, turned around the accounting, business office, and materials management departments, and managed the transition of the banking relationship for all entities. Included in those efforts was the implementation of an anesthesia billing system and corresponding increase in profit of $500,000 per year, implementation of a new patient payment plan vendor with a corresponding cash infusion of $500,000 plus a reduction in bad debt expense of $127,000 in one year, implementation of an automated ordering system with bar-code scanning and GL interface, implementation of an accounts payable outsource system, and the complete refinance of our real estate debt with the removal of our SWAP. But my most exciting project was the launch of a Management Services Organization (MSO) with the successful onboarding of practice management for a 3-surgeon practice, including all management functions from business office to accounting.https://apadvantage.net/sites/53e4ea5be1fd7db474000002/content_entry544ffe71e1fd7db296001f25/544ffeade1fd7db296001f28/files/apa-case-study-stony-point.pdf Show less

  Practice administrator

  At Atkins, Miller, Maestrello, & Associates, I was responsible for accounting and finance, human resources and payroll, leading monthly partner meetings, daily operations, and merger/acquisition, buy-ins, and other negotiations.

Additional accomplishments included creating and rolling out a new employee review system, doubling our line of credit, and upgrading the entire payroll function. Show less

  Virginia physicians for women

  Mar 2018 - Feb 2019

  Director of finance

  At VPFW, I was mainly responsible for the accounting and finance functions, as well as the business office functions (accounts receivable, billing, collections, and payer performance), and management of the physician bonus program. I also assisted the CEO with the real estate entity, and assisted Human Resources with the 401(k) plan administration. I was able to get us on to a GPO for an estimated $60k per year savings, implement Paymerang for an estimated $50k per year savings, and brought on a new collections attorney for $46k on old/uncollectible accounts as well as better performance on new accounts. I also added the following new products/offerings: Care Credit, Online Billpay, InstaMed, Zelis, and Honor Care - all improvements to the business office and the patient experience. Additionally, I inherited a large unclaimed property audit and successfully brought the audit to closure before my departure. My best accomplishment came in my quest to improve the physician bonus program, as I was able to develop a model to forecast revenues to predict the physician bonus pool for the first time ever in the practice.
