Sherry C

Controller she/her

Throughout my 19-year journey in accounting, I embarked from the grassroots of a burgeoning startup. My forte lies in fostering seamless collaboration within cross-functional teams, a skill honed over years of successfully managing teams across geographical divides, including international realms.

At the core of my leadership philosophy is inclusivity, ensuring every voice is heard, fostering encouragement, and nurturing a team-centric mindset. My prowess in accounting and financial reporting has consistently proven invaluable to the organizations I've served. Notably, I spearheaded an in-house cross-functional team, yielding savings of $350K through service consolidation and operational enhancements for one company. In another instance, my leadership of a virtual team led to $500K in savings through customer migration strategies. Collaborating closely with an international tax office, I orchestrated a reconciliation process that slashed arrears fees by $350K, devising a mutually beneficial payment plan. Each project, completed ahead of schedule, stands as a testament to my commitment to excellence. With comprehensive experience in full-cycle accounting, garnered from hands-on involvement in small business operations, I possess a profound understanding of business dynamics across all departments. Collaboration remains the linchpin of my approach. Key competencies encompass leadership, collaboration, month-over-month and quarter-over-quarter financial reporting, full-cycle accounting, account reconciliations, international business acumen, vendor and customer relationship management, cash analysis, cash flow reporting, project management, and government agency reporting.

Specializations:

Financial Management, Full Cycle Accounting, Leadership, Process Improvement, Stakeholder Relationships,Vendor and Customer Relationship Specialist.
