OBJECTIVE

To obtain full-time, accounting/auditing employment in a challenging, teamwork-oriented, professional environment.

QUALIFICATIONS SUMMARY

• Fast-paced worker, used to operating under deadlines and handling several assignments at once.
• Eight years of full-scope bookkeeping experience, including payroll and income tax returns.
• Proficient with computers and many accounting and office software products.

EMPLOYMENT

I performed all managerial and bookkeeping duties associated with a retail business, including cash receipts and payments, bank reconciliations, accounts receivable and payable journal entries, aging and collection/payment schedules, cash and credit purchases, payroll accruals and tax filings, period-closing procedures, and preparation of financial statements.  My related accounting responsibilities covered preparation and analysis of monthly, quarterly and annual sales and expense budgets and forecasts.  My managerial training included point-of-sale inventory control, perconnel schedules, shipping and receiving procedures and general maintenance.  I also supervised small teams of sales counselors and computerized and maintained the store's accounting and inventory systems.

I taught a wide range of business-related subjects, including financial accounting, managerial and cost accounting, business law, business math, statistics, Lotus 123, Excel, English and Spanish.  Specific accounting areas I taught included bank reconciliations, accounts receivable/payable journal entries, short-term and long-term account classification, interest receivable/payable calculations, depreciation and amortization schedules, inventory product and process costing, overhead allocation methods, budgets, forecasts, and financial statement preparation.  I also established cost accounting study groups and assisted several instructors in labs for teaching basic computer use (including standard Microsoft Office network software), Internet theory and electronic marketing research as well as web page design and publication.

My duties included documenting the flow of overhead labor costs in a job-costing system and analyzing overhead productivity levels in a time-intensive environment.  I also recommended, established, documented and maintained a new system of computer hardware and software installation and maintenance and taught other employees similarly.  I participated in client data compilations and entry for tax filing and bookkeeping purposes, researched applicable state tax law, and performed routine computer data maintenance procedures for out-based clients.

VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE

I prepared Form 1040 (including A and EZ versions) and Form 540 income tax returns for walk-in clients.  I also prepared accompanying Schedules A, B, C and EIC for many of them.

EDUCATION

As an alumnus of the Gamma Omicron chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, I have held several offices, including chairperson for the Accounting Tutoring, Kiddie Tutoring, Internet/E-mail and Alumni/Recruiter Database committees.  I was also a member of the Fall 1997 Internal Audit Committee and have been awarded an academic scholarship from Deloitte & Touche, LLP.  I revised and administrated the chapter's web site.
