Background

About Ali Schmidt-Hoffman

I am a strategic, driven, and focused professional with a seasoned accounting background, a history of strengthening P&L performance, and a talent for aligning teams around common goals. I combine over 16 years’ experience providing accounting/financial leadership, vision, and direction for multiple high-profile organizations; ensuring companies are optimally positioned to deliver against their strategic revenue, profitability, and growth objectives; steering key aspects of accounting and finance activities to sustainably improve bottom-line performance; and carefully shaping the processes and policies that sustain an efficient, productive, and highly competitive organization. I am an agile thinker who is highly adaptable and quick on her feet. In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, what worked yesterday may not work tomorrow. I have the experience and the dexterity to stay one step ahead of change, shift gears when the context calls for it, respond effectively to evolving industry trends, and drive my organization to success. I am a supportive team leader with a strong ability to take charge of projects, train and empower others, and motivate those around me to do their best work. I believe a leader’s primary duty is to cultivate, professionally develop, and grow confidence in his team. I have the ability, expertise, and coaching skills to drive my team to success. I have the communication skills to clearly articulate my vision, persuade people to take action, and get the ball rolling in the right direction. Whether I’m sending out emails, communicating with a team member, presenting to a crowd, or anything in between; I communicate quickly, accurately, and effectively.
