EmblemHealth๐ฆ Senior Accountant
Nov. 2008 - Feb. 2025Greater New York City AreaAt the heart of my role as a Senior Accountant is more than just balancing numbers โ it's about driving financial transformation and delivering meaningful insights that steer strategic decisions. From preparing meticulous GAAP-compliant journal entries to reconciling complex financial accounts, I ensure that every figure aligns perfectly with corporate goals and compliance mandates. Managing financials for programs like NYS Dental and Administrative Services Only has taught me the value of accuracy, accountability, and adaptability in a dynamic health insurance landscape. One of my proudest achievements is the automation of key financial processes, a game-changer that saved countless hours of manual effort and improved reporting accuracy. Collaborating with project management teams, I ensure that every dollar spent is tracked, verified, and optimized for value. ๐น ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐: Whether it's troubleshooting discrepancies in ERP systems like ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐ or streamlining invoice reconciliations in ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ฐ, I thrive on turning challenges into opportunities. ๐น ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐จ๐ซ & ๐๐จ๐๐๐ก: I've had the privilege of guiding junior accountants, sharing best practices, and building a stronger, more cohesive finance team. ๐น ๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ซ: Crafting financial dashboards using ๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ and ๐๐ฑ๐๐๐ฅ to provide leadership with actionable insights for better decision-making.
