I am in the process of taking my final two classes at Villanova University and will graduate in May of this year with my MBA.
I am looking for a mid to senior level growth position with a homebuilder, developer or general contractor where I can utilize education, experience and knowledge to become a key player in the organization.
I have over 15 years of experience working in the construction and homebuilding industries with my primary job focuses being cost accounting, general ledger accounting, budgeting and contract management.
In my most recent position as Division Controller for Richmond American Homes I managed a staff of 6 employees and was responsible for overseeing the financial operations of a division with annual revenues ranging from $30M to $90M. In addition to these core responsibilities I worked closely with the Purchasing, Construction and Sales Departments ensuring the accurate and timely reporting of information to senior management (weekly sales, budget increases, cycle-times); adherence to corporate and divisional policies as well as SOX compliance.
My knowledge of running a company has been enhanced due to the positions that I have held and the exposure to many facets of the business from CAM reconciliations and rent-rolls, insurance and risk management, dispute resolution and litigation support to name a few.
