Work History

Senior Accounting Manager

HRPDC / HRTAC / SNA / HRMFFA
04.2024 - Current
  • At the Southside Network Authority (SNA), I lead the audit process, achieving clean results for two consecutive years. I provide financial reporting support to the Executive Director by preparing analyses that compare project fund tracking against actual spending. Junior staff frequently contact me for guidance, and I provide clear direction to ensure accuracy and build confidence. I also serve as payroll subject matter expert in QuickBooks, particularly while implementing a complex schedule for an out-of-state employee, and I complete year-end compliance requirements including W-2s and 1099s.
  • Within the Hampton Roads Military and Federal Facilities Alliance (HRMFFA), I manage the annual audit cycle, consistently resulting in clean opinions. I oversee year-end compliance filings and directed the migration from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online. Taking ownership of the transition, I implemented the platform, trained staff on payroll and accounts payable workflows, and ensured seamless operations. I continue to mentor junior staff, serving as a reliable resource when challenges arise.
  • In my responsibilities with the Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission (HRTAC), I oversaw all quarterly payroll tax filings (941 and VEC) and managed year-end reporting of W-2s and 1099s. I calculated imputed income during the calendar year and ensured accurate and timely federal tax payments, maintaining compliance with IRS requirements.
  • As part of my role at the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC), I direct payroll tax filings, oversee VRS contributions, and guide the financial close process to align budgets and reports. I serve as a key partner to the CFO, often acting as the primary point of contact for financial inquiries. I also assist the Grants Support Specialist by performing duties of the vacant Grants Accounting Manager position and serve as a procurement consultant leveraging my certification as a Virginia Procurement Associate. I mentor and cross-train staff, provide hands-on guidance, and drive process improvements that reinforce accountability and audit readiness.

Accounting Manager II

HRPDC / HRTAC / SNA / HRMFFA
04.2023 - 04.2024
  • At the Southside Network Authority (SNA), I performed bank reconciliations, recorded wire transfers, maintained a cash management log, prepared journal entries, and developed month-end financial reports for leadership. I reviewed payroll, verified payroll tax payments, and reviewed accounts payable transactions entered by the staff accountant. I led the annual audit, maintaining a clean opinion, and also served as backup for payroll and accounts payable when the staff accountant was unavailable.
  • For the Hampton Roads Military and Federal Facilities Alliance (HRMFFA), I managed bank reconciliations, accounts payable oversight, and financial reporting. I prepared the SLIP renewal application and collaborated with auditors on Form 990 review. My leadership on the annual audit process contributed to consecutive clean outcomes following my predecessor. I also provided backup payroll and accounts payable support to ensure continuity.
  • Within the Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission (HRTAC), I reviewed payroll and accounts payable transactions to ensure expenses were recorded to the proper general ledger accounts and that internal controls were followed. I managed quarterly payroll tax filings, prepared W-2s and 1099s, and played a critical role in the Black Mountain Software implementation by validating accuracy through dual-system entry of payroll and accounts payable. This ensured no discrepancies or impacts to the general ledger. I also served as backup processor for payroll and accounts payable.
  • At the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC), I processed bi-monthly payroll for 40+ employees, reconciled bank accounts, prepared journal entries, and upheld audit controls. I curated the Treasurer’s Report, a detailed financial report breaking down expenditures and revenues for HRTPO and HRPDC. During staffing turnover, I resumed several Accounting Manager I responsibilities to maintain operational stability. I also trained my successor in the Accounting Manager I role across SNA, HRMFFA, and HRTAC, providing mentorship and technical guidance.

12.2021 - 04.2023
  • At the Southside Network Authority (SNA), I processed accounts payable, invoiced localities for member dues, and recorded payments through check deposits and ACH entries. I processed payroll, reconciled and filed payroll tax reports (941, VEC, state), maintained payroll schedules, and prepared a bank balance report that reconciled available cash in relation to outstanding liabilities for payroll and accounts payable.
  • For the Hampton Roads Military and Federal Facilities Alliance (HRMFFA), I processed accounts payable, prepared executive expense reports, recorded transfers and ACH receipts, and managed payroll and benefits administration, including 401(k) contributions. I reconciled quarterly tax filings and maintained payroll schedules. Many responsibilities mirrored those of SNA, furthering my ability to manage complex multi-entity accounting functions.
  • Within the Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission (HRTAC), I processed accounts payable, payroll, payroll taxes, and employee benefits including VRS and Group Life contributions. I calculated optional life adjustments and salary reporting, and I prepared and reconciled year-end W-2s and 1099s for multiple entities.
  • At the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC), I managed accounts payable, including vendor onboarding and verification (W-9s, certifications), invoice review, and payment processing.
