Dear Executive Recruiter:

I am in the process of seeking a financial leadership position where I can use my skills in:

• Cost and Profitability Analysis - designed manufacturing product line cost analyses and profitability reports covering more than 2,000 SKUs. This included detailed analyses and working with all departments. Identified opportunities that led to more than $30 million in cost reduction.

• Accounting - 20 years of hands-on experience with general ledger, SEC financial reporting, internal controls, GAAP and timely reporting for operations with more than $800 million.

• Budget - directed development, distribution and monitoring of annual operating and capital budget processes of up to $400 million.

• Enterprise Resource Program Project Co-Leader - implemented world class processes throughout a $200 million organization, reducing overhead costs by $30 million annually. Improved efficiency and real-time financial status.

• Treasury Management - managed $50 million of daily cash and other investments. Controlled forecasting and liquidity needs.

• International Expertise - 15 years' experience directing financial accounting operations in Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, and several European countries.

If you are working on a client assignment requiring a CPA/MBA with very strong international, cost accounting and systems experience, I would welcome your call.

Sincerely,

 

Jack Jefferson
