  • Successfully managed and coded invoice flow in excess of $20m CAD a year
  • By coding the invoices I was able to determine what projects and jobs the invoices belonged to, allowing the company to better track its expenses

  • This sped-up the process of auditing, reduced storage space required, and aided in providing quick historical references for current projects

  • This ensured that the accounts were accurate
  • I achieved this through creating calculations within excel that listed the invoices in question and the total cost owed to the vendors
  • Ensured invoices were paid efficiently and on time by developing a method that batched invoices according to date and urgency of payment
  • By batching the invoices accordingly we were able to prioritize critical payments
  • Was responsible for communicating with different departments within the company to gain information and insights about company spending
  • This was crucial to ensure the accuracy of the financial statements and prevent unnecessary spending.

  • Updated the company's active directory to ensure that employee personal information was accurate and available
  • This made interdepartmental communication easier
  • Organized the department storage rooms and itemized inventory for ease of location
  • This reduced the amount of time staff spent looking for the items they required
  • The organization I implemented in the storage room made it easier to identify which critical items were low on stock, allowing for timely resupply
  • Worked as part of a team within IT finance and policy on a remediation case resulting in the return of ~$50k CAD to NTPC
  • During the case I networked with colleagues from various sites across the Northwest Territories to gather information on property tenancy
  • With this information, along with data I collected from further communication with the tenant, I was able to update our records and charge them accordingly.

  • Organized library events such as muffins on the lawn, used book sales, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police hot dog barbeque

  • Showcasing the library's resources in this way helped to create a positive relationship with the local community
  • The events I organized resulted in more patrons visiting the library
