What is your job title?
Director of Operations

What do you do for your company?
Financial project management via QuickBooks and Buildertrend. Coordination of accounting processes including liaison between our CPA and Bookkeeping firm. I also like to touch on training opportunities for our team. For example, I have a bit of an obsession with email efficiency and all the fantastic tricks within GMail that can be used to make managing your inbox simpler. The team can regularly expect a new tip from me on our regular status calls or via a quick Loom video.

Do you hold any NARI certifications?
No

How do you use your previous experience and/or education to do your job?
Accounting degree and CPA experience helps in all the detail management and financial coordination/analysis required in my role. My process management skills allow for continued improvement on how we manage our back office operations as well. Given we regularly manage million dollar plus budgets, we need to be certain we know where every dollar is going.

What do you love about remodeling?
I enjoy the project management aspect of each distinct project and the challenges around tracking to budgets within the change order and selection processes.
