Background

About April Meric

In order to excel in today’s competitive business environment, a successful Cost Controller needs a balance of cost analysis, forecasting, risk mitigation, and project management expertise - backed by robust reporting skills. I combine over 12 years’ experience conducting full cost engineering for multiple high-profile organizations; establishing a strong control infrastructure that facilitates sustainable and scalable business growth; continually identifying and remediating gaps in project control processes; and carefully shaping the processes and systems that sustain an efficient, productive, and highly profitable organization. I excel at implementing key strategies to maximize profit potential, optimizing project ROI, mitigating key sources of financial risk, identifying and pre-empting cost overruns, generating sustained cost savings, and shaping cohesive cost control teams through continuous knowledge sharing and mentorship. I am a proficient multitasker with the ability to learn, unlearn, and relearn; because success is less about what you already know and more about expanding your knowledge base. I have the agility to pick up new skills, adapt them to my needs, and respond to challenges with competence and conviction. 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 partner, presenting to a crowd, or anything in between; I communicate quickly, accurately and effectively.
