September through March
Office Manager/Accountant
This small, family-run company has annual sales of $.M. As the Office Manager/Accountant for the company, I examine, verify and maintain all of the company’s financial records. This includes data analysis of financial records to support company financial goals and to monitor corporate leadership issues and concerns. My duties include reconciling company bank accounts, the timely preparation and filing of all company taxes and returns, e.g., Federal and State, payroll, state sales and tire taxes, ensuring the proper and timely payment of suppliers bills, conducting market research to purchase the latest business management software, managing the weekly payroll functions for the company’s hourly, salaried and commission employees. Within my payroll responsibilities, I manage salary withholding for child support, garnishments, retirement account contributions and retirement portfolio management. In an average month, this represents $K of transactions, i.e., $K vendor payments and $K payroll. All accounting work is done consistent with accounting standards.
Upon entering my position in the company I discovered the Federal and State payroll taxes for the company were collectively in arrears in excess of $,. This required me to do a thorough research and analysis of all company payroll tax records, to extract pertinent data to determine the actual taxes owed. During this time I was in weekly contact with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Virginia Department of Taxation. I negotiated a payment schedule with the State of Virginia and the IRS for the unpaid taxes and I also negotiated with them to have $K penalties waived. Concurrent with the above effort, I negotiated a bank loan for the company to cover the taxes and interest that could not be waived. This enabled the company to make a lump sum payment to the IRS to halt the accumulation of penalties and interest.
As the Office Manager I annually analyze the business’s insurance needs for health, dental, workers compensation, disability and business liability. I develop requests for quotes from insurance firms to bid on our insurance policies, after which I analyze which submitted quotes offer the best value, e.g., most competitive price and comprehensive coverage and award to that firm.
In addition to the above, I am the Office Manager/Accountant for Triple E Signs (annual sales of $K), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of my company. Additional duties I perform for Triple E Signs is to perform customer interface and support and also the procurement of all materials needed for the fabrication of signs. This includes working with clients to determine their requirements and developing the best value product for their needs.
Self-trained, I have mastered using the latest business process software tools, e.g., QuickBooks Pro version for accounting needs and Gerber Omega for sign fabrication.
Novaks’ Gymnastics Center Booster Club/USA Gymnastics
Dumfries, VA
March – June
President/Treasurer
Volunteer Position
As the Treasurer for this organization I developed an annual operating budget of $K. I monitored club expenditures and made adjustments to the budget as necessary. Acceding to the Presidency after years, I established budget goals including recommendations on how to meet these goals. For example, I planned and executed fundraising events for the club. This included meeting with local business owners and managers for sponsorships. Over an eight year period, these activities raised $K which ensured that club gymnasts successfully competed at the International Elite level.
When I became President, communications were unorganized which hindered the organization from achieving its goal of developing Olympic level gymnasts. To improve this situation, I actively listened to questions, ideas, and concerns of others to understand different opinions which fostered team spirit and unity of purpose, which developed more than gymnasts who competed at the U.S. National or Olympic levels. As the President, I was the liaison between the club, coaches, gymnasts and parents. This included assisting coaches to monitor requirements for athlete advancement through all levels of competition, developing gymnasts’ competition schedules, and disseminating information to the parents, e.g., coordinating the travel of gymnasts, coaches, and parents to gymnastic competitions.
I also served as the Treasurer for the Virginia Chapter of USA Gymnastics Board of Directors. Consistent with accounting standards, I managed all the financial activities for this $K organization.
As a certified USA Gymnastics Judge, I have judges competitions at all levels, i.e., local to National. As a professional member of USA Gymnastics I am required to pass a thorough security background check conducted by National Center for Safety Initiatives (NCIS). I maintain my qualifications though continuing education, e.g., safety certification classes and written, practical instruction and testing against current USA Gymnastics Standards.
