Background

About Andy Herber

With a solid foundation in finance and accounting, coupled with extensive experience across diverse industries including manufacturing, construction/service, and commercial real estate, I offer an unparalleled record demonstrating a deep understanding of financial statements and their underlying drivers, and distilling intricate details into actionable insights for key stakeholders. I am committed to excellence as is evident in my ability to manage the accounting closing process within stringent internal control frameworks, navigate forecasting challenges, and ensure compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Notable achievements: I played a pivotal role in enhancing financial reporting and accountability by conceptualizing and developing a monthly balance sheet and backlog fluctuation tool. Its adoption by global controllers across Carrier business units marked a significant milestone, with PwC designating it as a "key control" and mandating its implementation company-wide. During my tenure, I collaborated closely with Ernst & Young consultants on a transformative project. Together, we vetted existing models and seamlessly transitioned them to a new automation solution. This initiative resulted in a reduction of reserve values by $15 million. I excel in spearheading software projects and optimizing database efficiency and my adaptability in embracing technological advancements in the financial landscape. I am driven by a leadership style centered on creating value, building trust, garnering respect, and achieving collective success. • Variance Analysis • GAAP • Data Governance • Finance Strategy • FPA • Mergers & Acquisitions • Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) • Risk Mitigation • Finance Project Management • SAP Implementation & Integrations • LEAN Methodology • Empathetic Leadership • Strategic Initiatives Success Senior Finance Executive (e) andyherber883@gmail.com
