BACKGROUND

I earned my Master's in Business Administration from Golden Gate University and my Bachelor's degree in Finance and Applied Economics from UC Berkeley's School of Business. I have used Quickbooks software (Enterprise, Pro and Online) for 25 years (with a strong use of import files) and Quicken software for 20 years. In conjunction with these software programs I have used Microsoft Excel (with a strong emphasis of macros) and Word to develop efficient and effective accounting systems. I also have extensive experience in Human Resource processes and management and compliance.
