Background

About Catherine Watts

I am a seasoned financial administrator with 24+ years of accounting and office management experience. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for client relations, as well as for creating elegant accounts payable and received systems, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company growth and expansion throughout my career. As such, I have consistently exceeded budgetary and performance goals and I am adept at achieving maximum operational output with minimal resource expenditure. Professional focal points include account management, scheduling, billing, file maintenance, tax policy, and administration. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication skills, negotiation skills, as well as business acumen, systems analysis, time management and resource allocation to support efficiency and maximum returns. I was an executive and personal assistant to the president at Provenance Hotels. Under my leadership, I processed all expense reports, mail, travel itineraries, and maintained the office inventory. I also planned internal and external meetings and managed several dynamic calendars. In addition, I liaised with senior leadership, clients, and accounting teams to ensure the company’s technological support structure is driving the business forward with minimal expenditures. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, organizational and managerial expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget. Currently, I am an Office Manager overseeing a boutique tax firm with a mix of individual and corporate clients.
