Bernardo | Wills Architects PCProject Accounting Coordinator/Billing Specialist
Jan. 2017 - Nov. 2023Spokane, WashingtonI was responsible for all AR (billing and receiving), and all AP, the setting up of new clients, consultants/sub-contractors, and vendors. I managed client, consultant/sub-contractor, vendor contracts and billing communication. Set up new projects for the Principles and Associates, cost accounting, tracked budget progress, and WIP. I had monthly meetings with each principal to matin clear communication on their budgets, variances, WIP and projected spend. I on-boarded new employees. I was the on-staff trainer for Ajera (project management and integrated accounting software), as well as go-to staff person for troubleshooting excel documents. When I on-boarded in 2017 I immediately converted our AR to electronic billing with established monthly billing cycles, then during Covid I took our accounting to all electronic document filing. I was also the database administrator for electronic filing of AP, AR, and email communication. I absolutely adored my time at BWA, the relationships I built with my coworkers and was disappointed that I was part of their downsizing in anticipation for the upcoming slowdown in real estate development.
