Experienced Accounting Manager who has developed a familiarity and understanding with the financial and operational challenges faced by start-up companies, and the reporting requirements these companies experience as they go through initial funding rounds and the subsequent IPO process. I am a detail oriented self-starter who has a strong track record for delivering accurate and timely results. I have gained a strong knowledge of the application of US GAAP accounting standards and the SEC rules and regulations.
After the Pivotal IPO I have worked closely with our SEC reporting manager and Financial Controller in order to streamline the financial reporting process to meet 10-Q and 10-K deadlines. I have taken ownership of certain investor relation material such as the Press release and Supplemental tables and I continue to own our consolidated cash flow and equity rollforward preparation. I also own the preparation for the quarterly MD&A flux analysis and EPS workings. I have worked closely with external parties in order to develop a Sox Control environment that could support our financial statement process on a go forward basis.
Spent several months working on the Pivotal IPO including detailed Preparation of the S1 disclosures and footnotes. During this time I worked very closely with the Audit and Advisory teams based in San Francisco and Boston, as well our Legal team and Printers. Throughout this period I took a number of initiatives in order to improve our consolidated analytics packages so that the accounting team could provide more context on the numbers that were being shared across the finance Group. I also owned the final consolidation of ASC606 adjustments and I played a key part in developing the model and best practice for deferring commission as part of the new standard, on a go forward basis.
Joined the Pivotal Finance team as a Senior Accountant working on the US GAAP Consolidated reporting package. Responsibilities included preparing the Consolidated Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Equity Roll forward and Cashflow. Took the lead in developing a consolidated close calendar that was focused on improving and expediting our close reporting process. Spent several months working on a Financial statement recast for 3 fiscal year ends, and 12 fiscal quarters following the change in fiscal calendar. Heavily involved in the transition from SAP ERP to Workday ERP.
Lead senior on the audits of listed clients that were involved in the technology, retail and manufacturing sectors. I spent a number of months working on a tech client that completed an IPO in late 2015. I completed testing on revenue recognition for companies in the mentioned industries and I completed testing on CTA, APIC, Stock based Comp and consolidation entries. All clients reported in US GAAP. I gained considerable exposure to the Sox environment within these companies.
